Not to steer the thread away from Chrome! But, I've experienced this precise issue in Firefox as well - just over the past few days.

That's fine - I mostly use it with Chrome, so to be honest, I haven't tried in FF. It seemed sluggish in IE8, but everything is sluggish in IE8. And I haven't used it enough - maybe it's freezing up every few seconds in everything.

I have that issue all the time in Chrome - I think it has something to do with all the Ajax loading.
FYI - you can have multiple Chrome profiles that don't share cookies on the same computer. I personally have 6 different Chrome profiles (same code base - different plugins and bookmarks) depending on what I'm working on. You can also do the same thing for FF and have multiple FFs running at once that don't share cookies so you can just load up FF 3 times and login to 3 different Google accounts.

Yea, but the problem with that is #1 Chrome keeps just *freezing* in the AdWords UI, and FF is such a freaking resource hog - just running it *once* for any period of time is bad enough.

Have you guys enabled the "local storage" setting that Google added to Adwords? You'll know the status by looking in the upper right near the logout.
I had it turned on thinking the local storage would speed things up, but in my case it froze the page every few seconds. I disabled local storage and I no longer have the problem...
The problem occurred in both FF and Chrome, now I don't have the issue in either.

I don't remember, but I'll see if I can find a setting for that and if it's enabled, try turning it off. Thanks.

I tried the local storage when it was in beta, and tried it again after the full release and in both cases I disabled it after a couple days.
I could not find any speed bonuses with it; and it just seemed to freeze a lot of pages.

I agree with eWhisper - local storage seems to not work well with my Chrome on Win7.

Well I don't have it enabled, as far as I can tell, and I still have no end of problems with Chrome and AdWords.

I'm finding it ironic that I use chrome for most things unless it's a Google product.
Google Reader offline doesn't work properly in Chrome. Google docs works better in FF than Chrome (and forget trying to use offline editing in Chrome). AdWords works horrible in Chrome.
So Google is actually pushing me back to FireFox from their own browser.

It's even worse for me, I'm being pushed back into IE. FF is such a resource hog, even with plugins disabled temporarily, after X amount of time I have to restart it. And half the time it doesn't even shut down properly. I had high hopes for Chrome. But it does burn me when Google gets all excited hyping extensions for Chrome when the core property doesn't even work with their own products.

netmeg, have you tried a complete uninstall and reinstall of Chrome?
I'm having the exact opposite situation with Chrome. I can only use the Chrome browser for Google properties since they are so jquery/ javascript/ ajax heavy. In any other browser Google properties come to a crawl within a few minutes. I can run Chrome all day with no problems now that I turned off the local storage.
The only other thing I would suggest looking at is seeing if you have the resource monitor on. Right click> inspect element> resources tab> and make sure this is disabled. When I enable this feature my page loads slow down considerably.
