Firefox Plugins and Spybot Search and Destroy
Friday, May 2nd, 2008I finally got around to installing the latest upgrades to Spybot last weekend and immediately had problems with Firefox loading extremely slowly (including slow script popups). Even switching between pages was slow.
Knowing that this sort of problem is usually caused by a plugin, I disabled all the plugins and the problem disappeared. That confirmed that the issue is definitely a plugin problem. I tried re-enabling the plugins until the problem came back and identified the Cookie Safe plugin as the problem one. Re-enabling all the other plugins except for that one meant that Firefox was functioning properly again and all my desired plugins were operational except for the Cookie one.
A quick Google search showed that this was a well known problem and also provided a solution - a CS Lite plugin that can substitute for the problem one providing the desired functionality without clashing with Spybot.
