Okay, I've had this problem for a while and I'm beginning
to wonder why.
Firefox sometimes responds very slowly, especially when
rendering Wikipedia and a few other pages (mostly wikis
actually). I don't mean connecting to the internet, I mean
responding to the user; e.g. I run a mouse gestures
extension which can become unusable with a couple
of Wikipedia tabs open. Booting the same machine into
Windows Me and running Firefox I don't have this problem.
System is FC5, Athlon 1.3GHz, 1GB RAM, GeForce 3 Ti200
with Nvidia drivers.
So:
Does anyone else have this problem?
I have. Any site javascript intensive makes FF consume 100% CPU
for a
few seconds at each click. Gmail is one of them.
So, how bout installing the noscript extension & enabling
javascript for
sites where it is absolutely necessary?
You are a genius. What a wonderful solution. I each site i just go
to Edit -> Preferences -> Content -> Enable JavaScript. And them
wait for each click or page scroll. I have a better one: Why not
just use Opera in instead of FF? This one is much better: If you
have nothing worth to say why don't you just shut up?
Or, alternatively, why don't you bite the hand that helps you?

Could you elaborate on how that fixes FF slowness on javaScript
sites? To make it clear: I need Gmail *with* javaScript enabled.
Blocking javaScript is not a solution when javaScript is necessary
or just nice to have.
I suggest you go to the link Scott provided you & read the
documentation for that extension for yourself. If it's still unclear,
there's a link to the authors site. His site will tell you anything
you want to know regarding the noscript extension ;-) Plus, you can
email him.
I'd agree Clodoaldo's response wasn't really necessary,
however he's right that the JavaScript heavy sites tend
to be ones like Gmail that need it. I'm also not really
happy with use Konqueror/Opera/A Mac type answers because
I know FF on the same machine under windows works fine,
and I doubt that it's windows causing the difference.
I've just tried the binary version of 1.5.0.8 from
Mozilla and it won't run (seemingly library problems),
maybe I'll give 2.0 a go.
Get the Firefox 2.0 from Mozilla. It is much improved over 1.5.0.8 and
the Mozilla Firefox runs and displays much faster than the Fedora rpms.
Unforch its also very unstable, I've had to let the process killer kill it
dozens of times.
After you have installed Firefox run it from a terminal window and it
will tell you what compat library file it is missing.
yum what provides <name>
will tell you the exact name of the compat library package that you need
to install.
Maybe that will fix it, but my niece asked me how to get rid of it after
I'd put the winderz version on her Xp box. It was silently locking up
just like my linux version was. I told her where to get 1.5.0.8 as I was
400 miles away by the time she yelled help. That'll teach me to do
someone what I think is a favor with a release that was 8 hours old when
I did it. Dumb is what it was. :(
