sorry, that was spoken in the heat of the moment.
i'm getting
increasingly frustrated because i was having firefox
performance
issues right from the get-go, with a fresh install of f11
beta. it's
not as if i'm trying all sorts of esoteric and obscure
configurations
-- this was happening before i messed around at all.
i'll give it some more thought. sorry for the
peevishness.

Robert,
I have two or three machines (x86_64) have some problems with firefox. On some of them it
froze the machine and nothing but a hard reboot got them back (ATI integrated graphics, I
to complained too, check the list as well). On those mchines, I use either konqueror or
Opera to avoid the freezes and all is well. On the regular i686/i586 firefox works well.
The nvidia x86_64 firefox works ok, but I have not run it continously to say how well it
works). I only have gecko-mediaplayer and flash plugins (x86_64 beta). I was not
complaining that it was slow, I complainted because it froze my machines. You are not the
only one that is having problems or has problems with firefox, but we can only do so much.
Regards,
Antonio
