Hi,
I'm a user of a CentOS 4.4 system at our department (personally I use Debian).
I use KDE and when I run firefox, it sometimes tends to be very slow in response when clicking on links and especially when I click on the navigation bar to edit the url: it sometimes takes up to 2-3 seconds before firefox responds.
Switching to Gnome completely solves the problem without any other changes.
I've tried to install firefox directly from mozilla.com but that version exhibits exactly the same problems.
Is this a known problem? I couldn't find anything about this by googling.
Thanks, Jaap Eldering
