Re: Good Mac Firefox/Safari addons/tips/tricks/advice?

In a similar boat, older MBP, OSX 10.6, but I only use Safari. My computer still locks up sometimes, but I attribute that to flash and also not turning off my laptop for days (I put it to sleep a lot though).

If you disable Flash in Safari, will it inconvenience you/disable a lot of sites and features you need? I actually don't know, I've never disabled it but I know it can bog down resources. I do know it disables the ability to watch some videos, so if you're okay with watching those in Firefox...

I've also heard the same thing about Java, but again I don't know what it disables if you turn it off. Other than that, I don't know if you can live with just having one browser open at a time? I actually don't use a lot of addons so I can't suggest any beyond what you have, sorry. :(

It might be Flash - it was getting really bad when I had a YouTube tab open in Safari. I was originally advised to get Flashblock for Firefox when I was having trouble with it before, and that's helped, but it also has the option of loading Flash objects manually if I want to. I don't know if Safari will let me do that if I disable it. I don't think it'll kill much - I don't actually use very many sites anymore - but I don't like not having the option to load what I want to, when I want to.

I usually do only have one browser open at a time - the problem is switching back and forth. I constantly have several open tabs relating to whatever project I'm working on. I tried to use SurfOn, which is supposed to let you save your tabs in one browser and open them in another, but the controls on it were so buggy I had to disable it :/

Oddly enough, my partner has a newer MBP running 10.8 and he uses Safari exclusively, and it still constantly locks up on him. I feel like it's less to do with the age of the computer and more to do with the fact that whoever's taken over after Jobs died is doing a shit job at keeping everything running smoothly :( We never had problems with Safari until recently (I just simply preferred Firefox because of the addons).
