Everything M. Warfield said and what specifically is the scrolling<br>
issue you see? Hangs on scroll, jumpy scroll, won't scroll, etc?<br>
<br>
I have a dual Op with 4GB RAM and 64-bit firefox. As my memory gets<br>
chewed up, firefox performance degrades. 3.0.5 seems better than prior<br>
3.0.x version but it still will crash and vanish thanks to crappy<br>
javascript all over the place. I also run the adobe testing version of<br>
flash for 64-bit Linux. It _mostly_ works but I have seen it tear down<br>
firefox to a bit heap of weeping page faults.<br>

</font></blockquote></div><br>Wow, again, the community comes with the MANsers! I'll post my specs when I get in, but I'm shocked to see that Mozilla doesn't have much love for our market. I assumed that since it was FOSS that it would give more love to Linux, but I guess Windows has more pull than I thought. That's what I get for ASSuming things. Reid, I look forward to "nightly" adventures... so I'll look into the latest beta build too.<br>
<br>Oh and to confirm, it probably is my nVidia car. Ever since I've been running this system and learning about Linux (9+ months), there has ALWAYS been a common denominator... and that's my graphics card (nVidia GeForce 8600 GT). If I didn't need 3D support A LOT of my issues would have gone away. Amazing how troublesome this awesome little graphics card has become to FOSS users.<br clear="all">
