I had an issue on Firefox 17 not being able to update to current release and getting browser compatibility warning on certain websites "please upgrade to newer browser or use Chrome".
Sent from the Samsung Galaxy S4 of Taylor Woods I run a dual boot (SL 6.4/Windows XP) workstation. SL is 64 bit, XP is 32 bit. I have Firefox and Konqueror browsers on SL; Firefox, IE, and Google Chrome on XP. For all browser choices I notice that when my browser home page loads (Google.com for all cases), the XP load times are very quick (< 1 sec), but painfully slow for SL (6-8 secs). I recently upgraded SL from 5.5 to 6.4, but I had the same symptoms before the change. Here are some data points: 1. Firefox: 17.0.8 on SL, 23.0.1 on XP 2. Temporarily disabling SELinux made no difference 3. Temporarily disabling all plugins on SL Firefox made no difference. 4. After the SL home page loads switching to other URL's is noticeably slower than with XP. Is this some kind of authentication hangup? I have looked at the various logs, but can't see anything. But I am not an expert in this area, so maybe I don't know what to look for. Any insights or suggestions? T. Rosmond
