[xubuntu-users] Firefox Slow

[Lee Gold]

FF 15.0 just frooze Xubuntu 11.10. Never happened before. I thought this
stopped happening with Netscape 4.0 -  a top heavy javascripted page
(the new improved Yahoo)  couldn't get itself together and FF just fooze
and EVERYTHING else on the desktop also frooze.  I'm just reporting what
I see...

Don't see the equivalent slowness happening on dual booted on same
laptop WinXp with FF with tons of addons.

Epthany/Gnome Web Browser on Xubuntu is very fast, very smooth, but less
features vs. FF.
