I've noticed that there are some pages that cause Firefox to slow down incredibly. Typical problems include a major increase in response time (from a few milliseconds to several seconds). It becomes impossible to scroll or use the browser with other tabs while these pages are loaded. Here are a few pages that I've noticed the problem with: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=68847741 http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=33169214 Unwieldy HTML aside, both of these pages deal heavily with image transparency. That could be the issue, though I'm not sure. Curiously, these pages cause no problems with Konqueror on the same machine. They also work fine using Firefox on Windows. Has anyone experienced similar issues?
