Hi,

I've only begun using Linux/Ubuntu recently and noticed that Firefox is slower in Ubuntu 10.04 X64 than in Windows 7 X64. Is this normal? I use the same set of applications(Gimp, OpenOffice, VLC, FireFox) on both operating systems and the most noticeable difference is FireFox online performance. I know that FireFox 3.6.6 for Win is 32-bit but I don't know whether the 3.6.6 for Ubuntu is 32-bit or 64-bit as it was updated automatically to this version after Ubuntu was installed on the system. I must admit I'm impressed with Ubuntu 10.04 X64. It has come a long way since I first tried Ubuntu and it managed to mess up the hard drive to the point that I had to reinstall all operating systems and applications.

Best regards,

Roy

Thanks. It does help. I just loaded the page in Ubuntu and now in Windows 7. The delay in loading contents of frames and tables in Ubuntu has decreased.

Best regards,
