Hi,
I know I'll probably get hazed by this already saturated question,
but I haven't found any solid answers to my issue from the archives.
I'm running Fedora 10 x86_64 and loving the "adventure" of running an
64 bit system. I'm also running Firefox 3.0.x (x86_64), but I've
noticed that it's not very smooth compared to it running on a Windows
machine and I'm little confused why.
It's more the scroll bar than anything else. It's something small,
but it's ruining the surfing experience and I'm a little embarrassed
to let other people use it on my desktop. I don't want to give Linux
a bad name and these folks are primarily Windows/MAC users. So;
their experience with using Firefox on my system is a tainted one.
I've tried running Swiftfox, but I haven't gotten it to load (that's
another issue) so I'm kind of stuck with Firefox.

This is probably a different situation, but for me, I discovered just
how much browsers can be greatly slowed down if there are slow/bad
DNS server entries. Make sure that *all* of your DNS server entries
are good in the /etc/resolv.conf file (can be set with System->
Administration->Network (DNS tab)). The odd thing is, only the
browsers that were very slow, but everything else seemed to work
fine. You can check FF against your local web-server just to make
sure it is not a DNS resolver issue or the Internet infrastructure.
For me, FF works well with:
Fedora release 9 (Sulphur)
Kernel 2.6.27.9-73.fc9.i686 i686
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E6550 @ 2.33GHz
CPUs: 2
2017MB RAM
... and my daughter's system, also an F9 with a different
and faster Intel Motherboard, Duo-Core, 2GB RAM
FWIW,
Dan
When I step on the DHCP generated /etc/resolv.conf from
Comast with one using my Wireless router as my primary
resolver, the performance of Firefox jumps dramatically.
Both the router and the DHCP generated /etc/resolv.conf
have the same DNS server entries.
DNS should be the first item to be checked.
