Firefox SLOW on Lenovo laptop

[smhardesty]

My wife had been complaining about how slow Firefox was on her Lenovo laptop. I had experienced the same problem on my Lenovo and had made the switch to SeaMonkey. Yesterday I finally took the time to check her laptop out. It wasn't just slow. It was excruciatingly slow. Moving the mouse cursor over an item took 2 - 3 seconds for it to highlight, then took another 2 - 3 seconds to respond after clicking. Loading web pages was also unbearably slow. So I went ahead and installed SeaMonkey. Guys, it was the difference between night and day. I can't fully explain just how much faster SeaMonkey is on that laptop. I'm not promoting SeaMonkey here. I'm trying to point out that there is some problem with Firefox. I don't know if it's something that is only apparent with Lenovo laptops, certain video cards, just the configuration of my Lenovos, or what. What I can say is that if you are running Firefox and it seems slow to you, you might want to consider installing a different web browser. If you happen to really Firefox, but think it's too slow, you can install SeaMonkey, then add the Sea Fox extension and the Classic Firefox Theme For SeaMonkey extension and you'll end up with basically Firefox. No, there are a few differences, but basic layout and functions are close to the same.
