I was reading firefox_answers on twitter earlier and it’s like a broken record. Plugins are to blame for everything apparently, yet there is no way of knowing which cause you resource issues when FF leaks like the titanic. It’s the fastest browser because X & Y say so Yawn (Excuse me).

Well I’ve not taken the pill yet, I’m running the portable version currently to test the waters. But one thing I’ve not noticed is this apparent speed demon of a browser now it’s set up the way I like it. So, I’d love to see the test results in a common configuration rather than minimal configuration with a handful of the most common plugins installed. Adblock with the juicy lists enabled, a search toolbar, download status bar, realplayer, bookmark manger like del.icio.us and flash enabled. Thoughts?
