Worked for me, thx!
Brilliant, switched off ‘use hardware acceleration’ and tab switching is much faster!
Works very well now. Thanks!!
That seems to have done it for me, too. Lots of other suggestions about disabling add-ons made no difference in a suddenly laggy Firefox 4.0.1 on a Windows XP machine, where I am using both my laptop screen and an external monitor. Turning off hardware acceleration seems to have fixed the problem. Thanks!
Works!!
Thank you so much!
Im using FireFox 7 on my brand new Dell XPS and the lagging tabs were driving me nuts! Since my desktop didnt have the same issues.
Thanks again!!!
Your method has solved my problem with Firefox! Thank you very much!
