I have recently migrated from my trusty laptop to a web book (on the
grounds of portability and battery life).

Previously, I am a happy and extensive user of Forefox as my default
browser.

In the past month of using the web book - an Acer Aspire One (WinXP) -
I have experienced the following problems with Firefox 3.5 and
3.5.2 :

1) They do not like the resolution of the screen
2) They take an age to open 1-2 minutes
3) There is frequent non-response and crashing - every 10 pages (or
less)

In comparison Google Chrome starts up very quickly 15 seconds; I have
no screen resolution issues and it does not crash or hang.

I prefer Firefox due to the Add-Ons which make using the browser so
excellent - but I ask developers to:

1) Offer a Firefox Lite - for web books with 1GB RAM. Making the
software open quicker and page changing/updates quicker.
2) Cure hanging and crashing


I am a big fan and user of Firefox and is still the default browser on
my standard laptop.

Can you help?

Thanks
