Re: [LUG] Firefox and Linux

I'm not 100% sure as to WHY it's running slower on Linux, but i would mention the Firefox plugin 'FasterFox'. This may be of use to you. I think that about:config may help (in FF) as you can alter pipes and stuff for a speedier experience.

 

What Linux distro are you using and what version of FF?

Hi

I'm currently using Windows, and it strikes me that Gecko runs far faster on here than in Linux. It's particularly more speedy when using GMail and Google Calendar - can anyone offer some explanation for this? GUI operations - opening tabs, for instance - seem to be sluggish in Linux as well, sort of like comparing GTK+ with the windows native toolkit ?
