I did experience this, and I had to tweak the following settings in about:config before the experience became usable: network.http.pipelining: true network.http.pipelining.maxrequests: 10 network.http.pipelining.ssl: true The image loading and display code seems to have changed significantly, and some unintended behaviour seems to have been introduced. (I also get ugly black boxes images if there is an resized image in the loaded page.) Hope this helps. -- Jonathan Chen ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "We laugh in the face of danger, we drop icecubes down the vest of fear" - Edmond Blackadder III
