Strange issue with the fox:
When I open multiple tabs, say when I'm browsing the TB, the whole computer gets very, very slow. Also, it takes forever to get the tab to change. Bits and pieces of the current tab's display will slowly become overwritten with the newly selected tab's stuff until the screen finally swaps tabs. It does this much more with graphics than text. Tabbing FARK doesn't do this much. However, it's not the CPU load that goes up much. In fact, it'll sit at under 20% but the screen won't catch up.
Furthering my certainty that this is Firefox issue is the fact that I can open dozens of windows in IE and this does not happen. I can open damn near the whole TB in IE and no big deal. If I open even 5 tabs in Firefox, I might as well ctrl+alt+del. Happens even quicker if one of the posts is huge.
Even opening one tab is annoying because for about five seconds while the new tab is loading, in the background, the foreground is frozen. I don't remember this happening at all when I first loaded the fox.
Any ideas?
