Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Settings UI, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050604 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050604 Firefox/1.0+

It takes a long time to switch between the subtabs of Options --> Privacy  and
Options --> Advanced.

If it can't be speeded up, then I suggest that it be changed back to the way the
options window is setup in Firefox 1.0.x.

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
Faster subtab switching.

Allow me to clarify, by "subtabs" I mean the General, Update, and Security tabs
under the Advanced tab and the History, Saved Forms, Passwords, Download
History, Cookies, and Cache under the Privacy tab.

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.
