Since my last post, when i was still using firefox 2, and complaining about
its slowness and freezing, particularly using gmail and scrolling, things
have changed.

Problem is I don't know (didn't quite realize) when it had changed. But it
was most probably after an Ubuntu hardy update.
Even after having installed Hardy completely fresh, which came with firefox
3, I was having these issues. Now they are gone. The browser behaves itself
MOSTLY. And those remaining issues I have are related only to flash and
pulse-audio.

Dylan, I don't know if you have already done this, and if not, if you are in
a position to do so,
but I suggest a fresh install of Hardy. If you did an upgrade from gutsy,
then I am not surprised there are problems... i've not had much luck with
upgrades myself.
And if you are hell bent on running Intrepid....
hopefully the issue disappears once the bugs are ironed out of that.
But for me, i no longer have problems I can blame Mozilla for.
I am running Ubuntu Hardy, Fresh Install, fully updated to date, on an old
toshiba laptop (albeit with upgraded memory of 2gig).

Hope you solve your problem!
