I hate to interject, but something I don't see in the thread so far is ruling out any of the basic factors that may be causing this problem. 1. If this was an upgrade, have you closed your browser and renamed the ~/.mozilla/ folder in an attempt to start firefox from scratch? I'd be curious to see if doing that alone "fixes" things. $ mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla.back 2. If above does not help, perhaps this could be an internet related issue with DNS or intermediate routing. For example, if the pages your are viewing has calls multiple DNS records, this delay in name resolution can make it appear that firefox is slowing things down when it's not related. To test that possibility, I would start testing DNS response time: $ dig www.yahoo.com | grep Query ;; Query time: 144 msec $ dig www.google.com | grep Query ;; Query time: 226 msec Note, I'm on an EVDO wireless card, so my times a a tad higher, but still these times are negligible. If you start going into the thousands, this is a problem. Just some ideas to start with.
