对使用和将要使用firefox的人有帮助的tips。
大多数用户应该都是用过Green Browser，马桶，The world的，所以装了firefox以后一般是会装一些扩展来满足个人的特殊应用，事实上迄今为止，不少扩展或多或少都有些小bug。各位可以根据自己所装的扩展与下面已知问题的扩展比对一下。比如fasterfox，1.0.x版本的会导致Hangs or slows down Firefox又比如flashgot，会导致Memory leak when used in conjunction with Filterset.G Updater
Filterset.G Updater，Memory leak when used in conjunction with FlashGot
请不要再说Mozilla把责任推到了扩展身上的话，
马桶和The world的假死问题同样可以理解为其作为IE的扩展带来的稳定性问题。
再者大多数扩展对firefox的功能的确是起到了很大的补充作用，各取所需吧。

Problematic extensions
Problematic extensions From MozillaZine Knowledge Base Extensionsare not written by Mozilla, and they are not tested with the browser orin combination with each other. This article lists some extensions that are known to cause problems.There are hundreds of extensions, and most problems are not listed here. If you do not find the problem listed below, follow the steps outlined in the Standard diagnostic - Firefox article.
In some cases, you may need to run Firefox in a special modecalled "Firefox Safe Mode" to access the Add-ons manager to disable oruninstall an extension. You may also need to reset preference changes made by the extension that may persist after it is disabled or uninstalled.See Uninstalling add-ons and Safe Mode for more information.
