Roboform slowing down Firefox page loads???

[flo...@gmail.com]

My page loading using firefox 2 have slowed to a crawl, and I suspect
it's being caused by Roboform. I suspect this because i opened FF in
safe mode and disabled all my extensions, then opened FF up as I
normally would ... and the page loads were speedy quick. So, I figure
the culprit is one of the extensions. So, I reinstate them one at a
time, testing each one to see if it's the thing causing the slowdowns.
Got no results until I reinstated Roboform ... and then bingo bango
back to slow as molases. I uninstalled it, got speed, reinstalled it,
got slow.

Anyone else having this problem? Anyone have any thoughts about what
to do? thanks!

Much depends on your cpu speed. Any extension that functions while a
page is loaded (as Roboform must), will slow things somewhat. If you
just disable Roboform, you should be able to decide if it is causing the
slowdown or not, and make your choice about using, or not using, it.

Take a look at the settings you have in RoboForm's options menu,
particularly in "auto fill". If you have any of the options which don't
require the program to ask you first then it might be causing your
slow-down as it fills forms on the fly.

I experience no such difficulty and nothing is set to auto fill. Also I
have probably far too many extensions, which I'm sure slows down the
opening of FF 2 and 2.0.0.1, but no difficulty once it is up.

a few clarifications:

1/ the slowing is with the loading of individual pages, not with the
loading of FF.
2/ i've already done the process of elimination thing and it's
definitely Roboform that's causing the problem.

I went & checked my Roboform settings and all looks well. Thing of
it is, I've been using Rf for about 5 months without a problem (and
without changing any settings), while this slowing thing has been doing
on for only about 2 weeks.

An additional piece of info: when the page loads now, it's coming up,
then looking like it's refreshing itself two or three times before the
loading is done. Does that offer any additional clues?

thanks.

one more thing: Roboform operates normally -- ie it does not slow down
page loads -- in Internet Explorer. Huh.
