[ubuntu-uk] Hardy Heron and Firefox

[George McLachlan]

I have had hardy running in some shape or form since, well I can't 
remember, but one of the early alpha's. Now it has been released all 
should be fine and good, but the performance of firefox has dropped like 
a stone.

As I type this it is using 101% of the CPU (dual cores so top doesn't 
pick it up correctly) but it almost unusable. Performance was way better 
in the earlier releases. Now it brings everything to a halt.

Has anyone else experienced this. I just wonder if it's because I never 
done a clean install of hardy (just kept applying updates)
