I don't know whether it is just my PC playing up but, as a committed fan of Firefox as my default browser I have had much inconvenience over this past weekend. My system has been painfully slow and the fan(s) in the box of tricks has (have) been working overtime. I had a look at the Task Manager a couple of times and the CPU usage was 100% for much of the time (I understand that, ideally, it should hover around 0 - 5%).
This afternoon I decided to give Internet Explorer another try and, lo and behold, everything was wonderful again. The system was lightning fast and the CPU reading was 2-3%.
Is it likely to be a problem with Firefox (in which case presumably others will have had similar problems) or is just that my Dell desktop is no longer able to handle Firefox as opposed to Internet Explorer?
