[Bug 926961] [NEW] Using Firefox in Ubuntu for Facebook is extremely laggy

[Sean Tseng]

Public bug reported:

Clicking on any items in facebook with firefox in ubuntu always requires
one or more extra clicks. The mouse cursor always seems to display
incorrectly, or simply due to lagging. Like rollover on links, it does
not change to 'hand with clicking finger', rollover on text does not
change to a text cursor.

At first, I thought this is probably an issue that Facebook has as they
might ignore the users using Linux since they might be targeting the
majority users who are using Windows and Mac. However, when I use Chrome
in Ubuntu, it is so much faster and does not have the issue I mention on
the firefox.
