[pchelpers] Re: re slow firefox 3

Hi Ekhart

Thanks for your input.

No. I'm still using XP Prof.

I'm staying miles away from Vista.

Had a student who had Vista loaded OEM on his laptop.
Endless problems trying to get him used to the new look.
Eventually I offered to revert his machine back to XP. He was
overjoyed and happy as a lark.

Will look at the link you supplied "

Standard diagnostic - Firefox" in

MozillaZine during the week.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
