[Discuss] firefox question

[Peter Withler]

My Firefox (default version 1.5.0.1-9) is very sluggish. Except for 
Google, it either loads a page very slowly or not at all.

This is a new install of Fedora Core 5. The machine has an onboard LAN 
card and a Linksys LNE100TX PCI LAN card. During the install I specified 
deactivating the onboard LAN card (eth0) and activating the Linksys card 
(eth1). I read that core 5 has drivers for this card so I haven't 
installed any drivers for it. Some settings (from the menu) that I 
checked follow:

Network Proxy Preferences is set to "Direct Internet Connection"

System/Administration/Network/Devices confirms eth0 is InActive and eth1 
is Active.
System/Administration/Network/Hardware confirms the Linksys card is 
eth1, and both
eth0 and eth1 are "Ok".
System/Administration/Network/DNS/Primary DNS = 64.59.160.13
System/Administration/Network/DNS/Secondary DNS = 64.59.160.15
System/Administration/Network/DNS/Tertiary DNS = blank
System/Administration/Network/DNS/DNS search path = pk.shawcable.net

System/Administration/Services NetworkManager is stopped
System/Administration/Services NetworkManagerDispatcher is stopped


As I said above, Firefox works but really slowly. Any help would be 
appreciated.

Peter.
