    Just got a new computer and installed firefox on it. Now everytime I scroll down a page it lags and catches up seconds later. Is there a way to stop this?

    Yeah, just switch to Chrome or Safari. :) Firefox is pretty crappy and slow these days.

    I also use chrome to browse DP. But from last few days facing a problem.
    Whenever I open any page of DP in new tab by right clicking "open link in new tab", the current page doesn't moves up or down until the next tab is completely open. :(

    Does this happen with IE or just firefox? You may have to update your video drivers.

    I've thought that something was wrong with me,but now I see that a lot of people had problems with Firefox these days. I will use Google Chrome and see what's the result.

    I would say make sure you have the latest graphics card drivers installed as this is quite common if you dont have correct graphics drivers installed.

    If its not that uninstall and make sure you download the latest version again hope for a better install, but still think its graphics driver as you say its a new computer, I have even had it in the past after building a new PC for someone it was afaulty graphics card that was causing the same issue too.

    I tried Chrome and hate it, but thats always another option I suppose :/

    firefox is still the best but for unknown reasons last day it become so slow
    but they promise to fix it at verion 4.0 ( they released beta version during time of typing this reply)

    personally i think chrome > firefox > safari > IE in fast loading and no craches
    but i use firefox since it has alot of very usefull addons can't live without it.
