It wasn't until I installed Firefox 1.5 Beta 1 from the mozilla site, I realised how slow the Firefox 1.06 is currently on RC1.
To be specific. I had installed Gnome 1 CD install of RC1, and I found that Firefox, was slow, not on actual loading, but just scrolling large web pages. I also found that it would sometimes keep scrolling even after I stopped trying to scroll.
Am I unique in this experience?
Firefox 1.06 is VERY slow when you compare it to the Deer Park Beta 1... DP Bet1 is faster to load, faster to render pages... faster in pretty much everything compared to Firefox 1.06. I installed the Beta 1 with a little.. caution, but now run it on all my Linux machines. And if you're brave, you can install the Nightly Tester Tools extension so that you can make all your favourite extensions work in Beta 1 - but... not all of them will work... so use with caution http://users.blueprintit.co.uk/~dave/web/firefox/buildid/nightly.html C.
