It seems that Firefox for Linux just has a bad implementation, but that GDK provides the needed primitives to fix the problem. See: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=382392#c34 and it's follow-up https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=427431.
As a work-around you can run Firefox in Windows XP on vmware on Ubuntu 8.04 and it will be WAY FASTER than using it directly in Ubuntu! :-p -- slow scroll with image in the background https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/125970 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
