Try other browsers and you will find that it is slow. Safari is the fastest browser you can get by far.
When someone say "firefox i slow" or "firefox sucks) my comment back is, get yourself a real computer that's not from the 80's. Ive used firefox for quite some time and it's NEVER been slow. I have a Dualcore processor with 4Gb's or ram and it's running smootly. and the plugin support / many addons firefox has kicks IE's butt any give time of the day. IE is good for people with slow / crappy computers
It ain't slow, I only have 2 GB of ram and running P4 3 Ghz. Still Firefox 3.0 was clearly much faster than its predecessor.
