Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Lauren]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0

Browser hangs for at least 10 seconds while going to a new window and even while I am typing this description.  It seems to only work for about 30 seconds at a time and then it will hang.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open new page
2. Scroll (hangs while scrolling)
3. 


Expected Results:  
Browser always hangs.

All I want is to have version 1 back.  Is there a way to install Firefox 1 and get rid of version 2?  I never had problems with version 1.  Now it is constantly hanging.

Could you try the newest stable release (2.0.0.4 right now)? There have been many stability and security updates since 2.0.

Reporter, can you still reproduce the problem using the latest Firefox version?
If not, can you resolve this bug as WORKSFORME?
