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.
