Hi all,
After using for ten days or so the Fedora build of Firefox v1.5
distributed with FC5, I've gone back to the "generic " linux version
available on the mozilla site. The former had on my system the highly
irritating habit of becoming effectively unresponsive for about twenty
seconds or so every time it opened a new page. CPU usage went to 100%
and it became impossible to scroll or switch to another tab. I finally
downloaded and installed in /opt the standard linux version and it
does not exhibit this behaviour. Anyone else seen this problem?

There was a post a few days ago that sounds similar, here is the solution to
that problem:

Perhaps it's an IPV6 resolution issue. Try this:
* Type about:config in the adressbar
* In the appearing searchbar, type ipv and set the first entry (ipv6 disable)
from false to true by double clicking it.
BTW - a handy means for searching the list archives with google, using the
following search would have led you to the earlier messages on this topic:
fedora-list FC5 firefox site:redhat.com
A message with "FireFox Wierd Behaviour" is where the above reply was found.
