What web browser do you use with that website (<a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://www.carteretcountyschools.org/bms/teacherwebs/sdavenport/artgallery6.htm" target="_blank">http://www.carteretcountyschools.org/bms/teacherwebs/sdavenport/artgallery6.htm
</a>) normally? <br>It performs very badly in both Firefox and IE on Windows 2000. For me both become very very slow to respond. IE handles it slighly better than Firefox, but not by much. Perhaps the website itself deserves some blame? (not making it any less of a Firefox/XOrg bug)

<br>Opera and Konqueror are immediate fixes. Any Gecko base browser seems to have the same<br>issues as Firefox. I would ultimately like to find a solution/fix for firefox as that<br>is the default browser and is what users are most familiar with. I also can't remove
<br>firefox as it is needed as a dependency for other apps. I can use custom menus but the<br>bottom line is I'd just like to fix Firefox and stay away from non-free apps such as<br>Opera. I have had trouble with displaying certain webpages in Konquerer on my Kubuntu
<br>machine that firefox has had no trouble with, so I assume a switch to Konqueror would<br>cause other problems.<br><br>If you want to give patching firefox a whirl with the method you describe the bug<br>concerning the pixmap problem is here

<br>be able to hit the same page without problems. To see what this should look like hit<br>the page in Opera and you'll see a minimal if any increase. If at all possible report<br>back if this works. Otherwise I'll try it later.
