Hotmail Sluggish on Firefox 8
Hi, I installed Firefox 8.0 a couple of days ago and find that my Hotmail email is quite sluggish. Other websites that I use, including Gmail are fast. I'm using Windows 7 operating system.
I tried accessing my Hotmail email on Google Chrome and it's fast. I tried disabling some of the add-ons, but no luck. Is there anything I can do to correct this problem?
Thanks for your help!

No one seems to be responding to this one, I guess not too many facing this issue. I still haven't figured this one out, but I think it's to do with the Java Console add-on which is not compatible in Firefox 8.0. I'll keep an eye on this add-on and report if it fixes the problem. In the meantime, I'm using Google Chrome to access my Hotmail email which is working perfectly.
In fact, Firefox has slowed down considerably for me over the past few months, especially when using the Squidoo website, so that's when I decided to use Chrome. I've written an article reviewing the Pros and Cons of Google Chrome. Having said so, Firefox still remain my favourite browser overall.

Just providing an update on the issue I had with Hotmail being sluggish in Firefox 8. With the new Firefox 9 released on December 21, 2011 and its improved JavaScript performance, the problem with my sluggish Hotmail has been resolved.
Also, I'm glad to see that most of my add-ons (at least my main ones) are compatible, especially Norton 360 which I consider my most important Firefox add-on. You can check my Firefox Reviews including Firefox 9.
I use both, Firefox and Google Chrome for different purposes and ran a Peacekeeper Browser Benchmark Test to compare the performance of the two browsers. Overall, Google Chrome still outperforms Firefox.
