i am at my wit's end with firefox on my fedora rawhide system -- to

watching any sort of youtube video is excruciating ... while audio
is typically, i will frequently get *maybe* one frame change a second,
i kid you not. i frequently get javascripts that are not responding,
and i'm asked whether i want to wait for them.
is there *something* i can do to debug this? what firefox
configuration settings should i be looking at? i'm willing to try
anything because, at this point, firefox is utterly unusable. even
something as simple as scrolling in a window is painfully slow.
oh, and i'm on a quad core i7, so i'm pretty sure horsepower isn't
the problem.

I see this happen when Firefox starts eating memory. "top" will show
Firefox using upwards of a GB of ram...I restart it and then
it's good to go for a couple of days.
