I have the same problem with FireFox 27. I have now installed FF 3.0 on
a test computer and it works fine. I will work forward to find out in
which version slows it down. Will do the same with SM to see where the
problem starts. For regular work in Facebook, I'll use IE or Google
Chrome (Opera and Safari also work fine) until SM is fixed.
