Switched back to FF 1.5 for those times when I have a site too rotten with Javascript to work with my usual browser, Opera 9.x, which is by far the fastest browser. Safari is nice but doesn't load PDF files properly. Some bank sites--the same folks who have terrible customer service and hidden fees--only work well with IE. I only use IE when forced (like when using a Microsoft service on my XP computer). FF 3.x so slow that it cannot be used.

I think the problem is with one of the add-ons that was causing all the problems but i couldn't figure out which one. Hope this helps guys I have had the same problem with firefox 3, this is what i did, it may also work for you.

Even the values I get @ speedtest.net differ a whole LOT hen using firefox 3. While I can be sure my line downloads at around 1,2 MBytes (not Mbits, lol), since I tested it with other browsers and another proggy, I cn't get more than 120-150 KB/s with this crap. You won't really notice the difference while surfing, but try to load a youtube clip and then spit this firefox right in DA FACE Installed FF3, caught in my foolish belief the upgrade is really an UP-grade, blinded by the trust I put in mozilla until today

This ff is:

- a bit slower to start (ok ok)
- SLOW to load pages
- EVEN SLOWER when it comes to file transfers

I benchmarked this thing and compared it to the other browsers I have on my system.
