I've got Mozilla Firefox 1.0 PR installed on my computer. It seems
to work great except for two strange things:
- Connecting to newegg.com takes several minutes; all my
other favorite sites connect okay.
- Creating and deleting new tabs seems to eat an awful lot
of CPU. If I create 10 or so tabs in a row (using
Ctrl-t), my whole system will slow to a crawl until
Firefox "catches up". I never noticed this on the 0.9.x
versions.
About the connection to newegg.com: I went over to my roommate's
computer, and loaded newegg.com up just fine using Internet
Explorer. He also has Firefox 1.0 PR on his Windows box---just like
my Firefox, it took (seemingly) forever to connect to newegg.
I'm running Firefox 1.0 PR on Windows at work, and it exhibits none
of the strange behavior I've described above: tab creation is
lightning fast, and I have no problems with newegg.com.
I tried rebuilding Firefox; that had no effect. I'm using fairly
conservative compiler flags: -O2 -march=athlon-xp. My system is an
Athlon XP 2500 w/1 GB of RAM.
Has anyone else seen any strangeness like this? Any ideas as to
where I should start looking to fix these problems?
By the way, I don't know if this is related or not, but, if I do an
"emerge -pv mozilla-firefox", many of the possible USE flags are
shown twice:
[ebuild R ] net-www/mozilla-firefox-1.0_pre -debug -debug
-gnome +gtk2 +gtk2 -ipv6 +java +java -ldap -mozdevelop -moznoxft
-moznoxft -mozxmlterm +truetype -xinerama -xinerama +xprint 0 kB
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Matt
