Hi just wondering any of you are using firefox 4 with your m11x. The problem that i'm facing right now is that firefox is very sluggish on my m11x compare to chrome , i've even disable Hardware Acceleration.
Just wondering is there any possible way to make firefox 4 useable.
Opps forgot to mention that i hook up my m11x to a 1920x1080 monitor.

I'm using firefox 4 on my R1 and I haven't had any problems with it so far. I haven't tried using an external monitor for it though.

If your utube videos are jerky, u could try to change the gfx driver. -
I'm using firefox 4 on my R1 and I haven't had any problems with it so far. I have tried using an external monitor (2 x 1920x1200 extended )and it's fine.

Tried reinstalling but no avail, i wonder if it has anything to do with the drivers

Firefox running perfectly fine on R1.

It is a problem with the hardware acelleration of it, also, it seems to be quite incompatible with the Win 7 Alienware theme.
On my desktop it runs flawless, however, here in my M11xR1, I guess it's time to try IE 9. -
Same here when i watch videos on my Firefox the hour bar and volum bar are like stuttering, very wierd...
-
its kind of weird when it comes to FF any more. when FF first competed with IE i changed to FF because it generally ran better and used less resourses than IE but now when i use FF i seem to be running around 150,00OK to 200,000k which is a lot more than IE or chrome... and its even worse when i try to use facebook... all though i do prefer FF im starting to use chrome more and more...
-
Same boat here, moved to Chrome. IE9 wouldn't run properly for me. Haven't looked back.

Firefox 5 runs perfect on my R2.

I recently had a thread running on this, and it seemed either the flash or firefox was the culprit (or the both of them together?). I still havent found the true culprit, but it may have to do with add ons because I just reformated my computer and Im using IE9 and the machine's running better than it ever did.
It was weird though, because I had my machine overclocked and when I first got my computer (and along with everyone elses m11x r1), the CPU score under WEI was 4.6 (when overclocked) and 4.1 when not. The weird thing was, when I ran it while my computer was hitting performance issues, it showed that the CPU rating was 4.4!
I had planned on doing a reformat anyways and now, the WEI score is thankfully 4.6 again. Im not sure what had to do with the performance lost, however I would say that a reformat would definitely fix the problem.
I mainly use firefox because of a specfic add on being the downloadhelper and the converter. I now just have firefox running when I need it and moved to IE9. Everythings smooth and running great, so I'd just advise either switching over or reformating if it's bothering you as it definitely was for me...sadly I loved the interface of firefox and how everything worked, however IE9 is a very nice compromise!
