No, not just you, I'm pleased to say it is a lot faster. I for one was fed up of seeing:"A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete."on the comments pages here. Now I just need my extensions back...

Really? Well I'm moving now. The reasin I always use Opera is because Firefox usually takes a while to startup on my ubuntu machine.

This is MUCH fater on Linux than FF 2.x.x.x; much better with digg comments also ^_^.

Sudo is not admin.Ubuntu fanboys don't realize that, apparently. By default, Ubuntu doesn't even have the root account enabled. Which is incidentally quite dumb, but that's another topic entirely.

But who uses Totem? That plugin is a useless piece of crap.Use Mplayer. I don't know how it works with Firefox 3 specificclly, but anything has to be better than Totem.
