Slow scrolling is normally due to CSS corners - they're much higher quality in Firefox 3, but as a result cause more of a performance hit. Afaik, it's known and being worked on.
You aren't likely to see a magic fix in a 3.0.x fix ... 3.1 might help though (expected in Q4 '08).

Ohh yeah, border rendering is slow, it's just due to the way it draws, it's being fixed in 3.1 though (It's not rounded corners though, them being anti-aliased is just a side effect of Cairo being so awesome) Some borders take 6 seconds on the "BorderBench" test, takes the same as other borders (around 2 seconds, it forces a lot of redraws to measure the average) with the in-progress patch. Edit: Borders just pretty much suck at the moment, only solid borders work perfectly, once you start using rounded, dashed (etc.) borders you start getting "issues" (not bad issues, but stuff like 2 rounded circles drawing half in each other) |

Updated on my laptop but I will wait to do the same on my desktop since TMP does not seem to work on my laptop.

Quote - (redeemed @ Jul 16 2008, 23:47) Pity too. I'm waiting for that problem to be fixed before I upgrade from 2.x; I know I can use IE Tab, but I just want it to work properly  Is this too much to ask of you, MS?  I have to assume that since it works on 2.x and not 3.x that it's Firefox's fault.

I just updated and all is well. TMP doesn't work, but using the nightly tester tools extension to override it seems to work fine.

The browser sniffing code they use sucks, they explicitly check for Firefox 2 on Windows, so Firefox 2 on Linux comes up unsupported, as does Firefox 3 and any other Gecko powered, non Firefox browser (which work fine, but since they don't announce themselves as Firefox they get marked unsupported) Maybe in the future people will write browser sniffing code that targets the engines (or even better, specific features), but at the moment it just seems more of the same stupidity. |

*sigh* none of the issues I experience have been fixed, ie: slow, choppy scroll and huge memory usage (over 3X what opera uses using the exact same windows. No added extras to either browser.
Looks like I'm sticking to opera, which really isn't bad at all, I think I can say I prefer it over FF. My girl usually uses FF though... |
