FF2?
Sep 10, 2008 8:34PM PDT

You haven't upgraded to FF3 yet?

I'm not saying it will solve the problems you are having, but it has been out for a while now, and any teething problems there were seem to have been ironed out.

As to FF and these forums, have you tried disabling all your addons and extensions? If that improves performance, then add them back in, one at a time, to see if any of them are causing the difficulties.

OK, FF3 is installed

an improvement i admit, but still having a problem with that black bar at the top

when the page is loading, it "stutters" 3-4 times and then everything freezes for 2-3 seconds on each stutter

maybe i need Johns latest CSS file (or maybe revert back to the original FF one?)
