273181 - Sluggish performance on americawest.com

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

When selecting drop-down boxes on http://www.americawest.com, it takes quite
some time (and CPU power) for the drop-down boxes to expand. Selecting the
options also takes some time.

This page works fine on IE.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.americawest.com
2. Select the "from" or "to" drop-down boxes, as they contain the most data.
3. Select a city. 

Actual Results:  
The drop-down boxes take a lot of time to open, and also a lot of time to select
an item. The overall website appears to work sluggishly on Firefox.

Expected Results:  
Not require so much processing for the drop-down boxes to work.

I have an Athlon64 3200+ with 1GB of RAM. So it can't possibly be the
performance of my machine. I have also witnessed this behaviour on other
computers (my work laptop and my work desktop, although they are slower machines).

The website is pretty much unusable on Firefox. The workaround is to use IE.

Please reopen it if you have the same problem with the latest nightly build
(http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/) and the
safe-mode.
