It really is incredible how badly modern software is designed. I'm on a web page and I want to copy the comments into a text document for easier reading. When I select the few thousand of them, the thing starts lagging like crazy and saying that "scripts on the web page are taking a long time". This is on a 6-core 3.5 GHz machine with 24 GB of memory. How do they engineer something so poorly?

Perhaps its just a Firefox thing. They are moving backwards. Options that you would expect to be in preferences, like blocking image loading or Javascript were intentionally removed, and the browser constantly gets bigger due to more stuff being added that many people never use or asked for.

Yeah it's annoying that they remove options like that, they're still in the browser:
Go to about:config, search for this option "permissions.default.image" change to 1.
Possible values:
0 -- always load the images
1 -- never load the images
2 -- dont load third images
I know they think that everyone has internet fast enough to not worry about loading a 100 images on a page, but it would be nice if the option was GUI accessible.
