RC2 and Firefox

Firefox now runs very sluggishly. It loads part of pages then stops.
IE works ok. Firefox worked fine on 5728.
Agent was also very slow until I change NIC to 100mhz half duplex.
Now seems ok.

Try the latest beta (Firefox 2.0 RC2 I think). It works a LOT better under
Vista than the older 1.x generation.

OK I will try that. I thought I got Agent working ok but no. It
gets about 40 headers then pretty much stops. I have to abort then
start again to get all the headers. I wonder if the reg tweaks might
do something.

OK I tried RC2 Firefox. Still no good. Very slow. I tried reg
tweaks. No change. I think maybe the xp driver for this nic is no
good for RC2. It was ok in RC1. hmm. It is a 3com 3c940 on the
motherboard. It's funny, tho, because IE works great.
