I'm using forefox 3.6.3 currently on Arch Linux 64 bit with KDEmod 4.4.2. I have 15 extensions installed and a custom theme also. Since switching to firefox 3.6.x some webpages have become unbearably slow in scrolling. Particularly the site blabbermouth.net is completely unsuable now. First I thought it was giving me the problems but in Konqueror the runs smoothly. I've tried to turn off my extensions but nothing works. Scrolling is simply broken on many sites on Linux.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run firefox
2. go to www.blabbermouth.net
3. start scrolling
Actual Results:  
scrolling is slow slow slow...

Expected Results:  
normal smooth scrolling
Version: unspecified → 3.6 Branch
Scrolls fine for me - Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.4) Gecko/20100417 Firefox/3.6.4

I can get smooth scrolling if I uninstall flash. But with flash it is terrible. Native 64 bit flash, there the site is unusable. 32-bit plugin with nspluginwrapper very very very slow scrolling.
