I haven't tried Chrome yet....but I hate IE.

Whaaat!? You've always been an IE guy, I remember making you try fire fox once. You hated that too.

Been using FF for about 6 months now. I don't have any of the issues mentioned. No slow down, no long start up times.

Do you have all those problems with NO plug ins installed?

Firefox does lag after a while of usage, you have to clean out all the cache files regularly, selete your temp folder weekly and quit saving passwords (security AND lag issue.)

You can also delete the folders under appdata>cache.( i think that's the foler, get that double checked.)

NOTHING though is as slow as 32 or 64 bit IE. NOTHING. (maybe safari...)

Opera is the browser I use (along with FF) and is worth a look.
That is, if you can't get FF to work... but just like GC, it's worth a try.
