Major Slowdown with Firefox, anyone notice this? Options

[Sir-Kill]

I have been happly using firefox for a year of two and it has worked flawlessly untill resently.

I have ran alll malware scans, scandisk, reinstalled FF 2.01 and for a couple of pages it is sort of fine but then it goes to a crawl 30 seconds to load any forum page, with a high speed connection when it usualy takes <3 seconds.

I tried IE and it is fast and now I have D/Led mozilla (not firefox) and it is fast real fast .

this is definitaly a FF issue or an issue with my internet protection and FF. But I have all but disabled that to see.

so if you are noticing a slowdown and do not want to use that POS IE try mozilla

If any know of the real reason for this slow down or know of a fix then please tell. but as far as guessing, I am not so intrested but thanks.

EDIT: one other thing I have noticed since moving to v2. of FF it did not remember or at least place in my quick login info but mozilla does (like FF 1.7.)

I definitely noticed it, and for the same reasons. My DSL connection was worse than dial-up for a bit.

But that was only the first time I used it. Once I had shut down the computer and fired it back up, I got the message that there were updates to install and that I should close the browser and reopen it. Having done so, everything runs fine.

Must say, I'm not in favor of forcing a person to use a specific browser to view Readmes. But that isn't my decision.
