Thank-you. Since then I unisntalled Ubuntu 8.10 and back again with 8.04. As Firefox did not improve, I installed WindowsXP and Google's both Chrome and Gmail. Chrome takes 3 seconds to open the main page and 1 second or 2 for other web pages, against minutes for Firefox in Ubuntu. So, there is a big gap difference. The Gmail icon on the desktop takes about a couple of seconds to show the mail. It is amazing how Google is pushing. I still have 8.04 installed as a second OS, but for the time being I have no better option that Chrome and Gmail in WindowsXP. I am grateful for your help. Leon
