Anyone else seeing absurdly slow responsiveness from iceweasel, like 30
seconds to close a tab?

Or am I just using too many plugins?

Iceweasel is really boring me. And many plugins that work on firefox,
don't work on it, and it crashs frequentally.
I tried diferent versions, but I'm just tired too... gonna look for
another option.

I'm running Sid's 2.0.0.0.3, and before that v1.5.0.10-dfsg3 and
tabs close just about instantaneously while using 6 plugins, even
when I've got dozens of tabs open.

Yes, it happens to me also -- unfortunately, because I have gotten used
to having several tabs open, and I keep opening and closing tabs all the
time. Sometimes even switching tabs takes too long. :-(

Hmm, I have eight plugins...

Unstable here.

I have about ~20 or so plug-ins installed, all running simultaneously
without problems of any sort. Speed is good, and there's no latency in
terms of closing down tabs, even when I have like ~30 active tabs with
mixed content (some of these with rather heavy pages). When I close a
tab, the tab just closes and the next tab is given focus with great
ease. What sort of plug-ins are you using? Are you for instance running a
lot of similar plug-ins, especially those that deal with tab preferences,
you might have conflicting plug-ins installed.

I'm getting annoyed too by iceweasel crashing often...
You might want to try out Kazehakase.

It isn't just tab closings that are the problem. Loading a page freezes the
program (all tabs) for up to one minute(!) until the load and rendering are
complete.

Actually, I just uninstalled three plugins and everything seems to be
dramatically faster. I may have been right in my initial guess.

As for alternative browsers, I rather like Galeon and Konqueror, but I'd
miss the plugins. Adblock in particular makes many sites bearable.
