[Bug 617977] [NEW] firefox dramatically slows down when loading several images

[Jacopo Carravieri]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

The problem is particular apparent with the new Google's images search
page, which has just switched its layout and shows lots of images in a
single page.

Before all visible images have been loaded, the browser is really slow,
unresponsive, sometimes taking some second to react. The problem persist
if you scroll down and images that become visible have still not been
loaded.
