Comment 3 for bug 300291

Many thanks Bernhard. I am answering through Google´s Gmail in
WindowsXP,SP2. I just unloaded SP2 at 526KB/s speed, so I have to
discard the connection as the origin of the Firefox slownees jn
Ubuntu.
Next time I open Ubuntu, I shall install Opera as per your advice.
Thanks,
Leon
