I was expecting much better performance, as per newspaper articles and postings
but, just FYI, on a decent broadband connection, using same Mac, some pages take
5x as long to load as Safari which, itself can take awhile to load.
This is scientific: I've loaded URL into both browsers, then hit GO (or hit
ENTER) asa fast as possible and FF just sits there and I dont think it's site
specific.

Are you sure the caching isn't influencing it?? If you put the same URL into
both browsers that you've been to before, safari probably has both the DNS
cached already and the page..

Mark this CRITICAL! Not minor.
There is a serious usability problem with Firefox (at least on Mac OS X), and no
attention has been paid to this serious bug report for TWO MONTHS. That is
pathetic.
I'm going to abandon Firefox if this isn't resolved soon and I'm sure many
others will as well. Safari and Opera are serious and responsibly developed
applications which respond well to user input. Hopes for Firefox were high, but
it seems that more attention is paid to pretty "foxy" graphic design rather than
performance, responsiveness, and usability.
Firefox is not at all responsive. It consistently takes 3-10 seconds to open a
new tab, and during that time the user cannot switch to other Firefox tabs or
windows. The colorwheel starts spinning and Firefox will not accept any other
user input.
This wasn't as noticable prior to the 1.0 release. Or maybe it was, but users
wrote it off as pre-release sloppiness.
Firefox's performance (on OS X, AlBook 15" G4) is horrible. Please try
releasing again, this time focus on releasing a responsive, well performing,
usable browser.
Thank you.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".
This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.
While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.
If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
