      last week i was having a terrible time surfing the internet: everything was very slow . i first thought it had to do with the connection where i was. then at home the problem persisted even though i have a 4mb wide band connection.

      on a hunch i tried to navigate using safari and all of a sudden i was back to normal. i started to suspect firefox 3 was the culprit and ran a google search under "firefox slowness". bingo! there were hundreds of complaints describing the exact same problem i was having. even the mozilla site acknowledges the problem but there seems to be no fix in sight.

      does ayone at SCF has been having the same problem?

      I had the same problem, it got so annoying I actually uninstalled it and changed over to Safari and haven't had the slowness problem at all.

      Just do it, it might be fun.

          I've been having this issue too, and for that reason I'm using Chrome. It just seemed to start all of a sudden.

            this is what everyone says: it worked ok for a while and then suddenly became slow.

              I've tried removing all my plugins, and using the deafult theme, and it's a bit quicker, but still not Chrome Quick.

                I must join the fans here, using Chrome and very happy with the speed.

                  it sounds crazy to me. a company creates a browser that quickly became the second most used app of its kind in a short period of time. then they release a faulty update that will cause them to lose their users in a fraction of that time.

                  i have not found a single official word from mozilla about this situation.

                        the latest versions of firefox seem to have fixed the slowness problem. just in case, i keep safari on hand.

                        @aidus,
                        i am afraid there is no mac version of chrome.
