Thank you! I was trying to pinpoint the slowdown ... this tip fixed it.

I am so frustrated today as I spent this morning converting my set up and bookmarks over to Firefox from Safari. This decision was based on Firefox's fast webpage download speeds recently. Somehow it has totally slowed up and I will go back to Safari.... annoying stuff!!

As a newbie - how do I get to about:config' as mentioned above? a step by step reference would be very helpful of course :-)

Bingo. I was about to remove F3 until I found this tip. Worked like a charm. Just wondering how many other Mac users did not find this tip and are cursing the new version.

THANK YOU! That was really helpful. I also use Leopard and was desperated about the performance of FF3 on some sites (not all). Very valuable tip!

Somehow Firefox 3 has become really slow on my machine since yesterday. I tried the above trick but it's not working for me :-(

Worked like a CHARM! Thanks!!! I was about to uninstall 3.0 and re-install 2.0.16 (or whatever). Grateful to have found this.

I tried this fix, and while the internet became instantly faster, it seems that, with time, it gets slower and slower.

I tried it and nothing happened. Firefox 3 is lagging like mad (as usual) and I don't know what to do D=
