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.
