Firefox slowness

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.

Hm. No problem here (yeterda I had an automated update of FF but had had no problem before either).
-
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.

if you download a lot clearing the download list might help

I am realy old skeptic but google chrome looks great!

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.
