 Hi! Everybody!
 I think most of us are using firefox now .Do you think it's too slow?
 
 Not really.
 
 In 
 my machine,if i open 6 or more tabs in firefox,my firefox will be stuck 
 and even can not scroll up and down.
 
 Works fine here.
 
 Many peple have the same 
 situation.
 
 Haven't heard of.
 
 Do you think so?
 
 No, I don't.
 
 And how can you solve this problem?
 
 Try a blank Firefox profile. To create one, run firefox -ProfileManager.

 It seems better now, but i am not sure.
 I will be very appreciated if you can tell me what the command means!
 Thanks!


It disables pango library usage, there's a known bug about it that makes
firefox scrolling and stuff very slow. Google for it and you'll find lots of
reports about it.

Cheers

 Sorry to post this here but I've already contacted the listserver with
 the info address and faq address.  Neither of those sources have any
 info about this.

What address have you used?

 
 I want to subscribe here but get no messages delivered.  The
 subscription would be so as to enable posting thru news.gmane.org's
 mail to news gateway.

The Lists section of www.gentoo.org tells how to do this in the first entry
of the FAQ.

http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/lists.xml

Additionally [EMAIL PROTECTED] always shows list usage information.

Anyway regarding your issue you should use:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Cheers
