No, I'm using testing/sarge. I have no extensions installed. My Firefox is from Debian's repository. Even with a clean installation/new user. BTW, I am obsessive with things being clean and I delete all my cookies, cache, *{rdf,dat} files etc under Firefox's directory after each session so that my backups are smaller. The only things that I keep are my bookmarks and my preferences. I don't know exactly what makes that site slow under Firefox/Linux, but absolutely normal under Firefox/Windows, but it is quite strange, to say the least. I have already thought of downloading Firefox's sources and enabling insane compilation switches, just to see if it would be slightly faster. Please bear in mind that my processor is a Duron 600MHz and people with GHz processors may not see the slowdowns that those using more modest hardware see. Anyway, I am really interested in seeing if others see the same slow behaviour that I see with that site (while scrolling the page -- something that doesn't happen on, say, slashdot.org).
