Okay, I've had this problem for a while and I'm beginning to wonder why. Firefox sometimes responds very slowly, especially when rendering Wikipedia and a few other pages (mostly wikis actually). I don't mean connecting to the internet, I mean responding to the user; e.g. I run a mouse gestures extension which can become unusable with a couple of Wikipedia tabs open. Booting the same machine into Windows Me and running Firefox I don't have this problem. System is FC5, Athlon 1.3GHz, 1GB RAM, GeForce 3 Ti200 with Nvidia drivers. So: Does anyone else have this problem?
I have. Any site javascript intensive makes FF consume 100% CPU for a few seconds at each click. Gmail is one of them. I'm also on FC5. Athlon XP2100, 768 MB ram. -- Clodoaldo Pinto Neto
