In my experience Chromium has always been a lot more responsive and snappier- so I experience and associate exactly this problem with the Firefox-based browsers; Abrowser, Iceweasel, IceCat, etc. Strange. Does anyone else experience these strange hangs with the Firefoxes? For me they are almost identical to the problem Alan has with Chrome.
