First off Firefox in F11 is FF 3.5 beta 4. I have seen you mention this problem before today. And I have not seen any 'me too' replies. This must be a problem with your setup or system. Is this with *all* sites? Or just some? Surely not just one site? Give an example URL please. Do you have the same extensions installed in both Firefox and Seamonkey? Do you use Flash Block? If a site is blocked, the default, it can slow the site down as it fights to display. Another thing to look at is the 'languages' installed in Firefox by Fedora. You, I figure, speak English which is built in. Disable the many other languages. I have a couple of other ideas but start here. -- David -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
