Check out the Mozilla blog to find out what bugs exist and what fixes have been implemented, I’m so glad that Mozilla stays on top of the fire fox browser. That’s more than I can say for the other guy; he’s starting to look like, how he is portrayed in the Mac commercials

@Alan:
That’s not surprising at all, since Fx 3.0 uses a quite different graphic back-end than older series.

@Giorgio:
Take a look at my MozillaZine Builds topic: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=577463 . The problem goes away if the windows graphics hardware acceleration is turned down one notch for my seven year old ATI video card. Guess I can hardly call this a Firefox bug, although it is curious that it happens only in Fx 3.0

I’ll keep this page as it is.
Thanks for your continued commitment in making Firefox a better browser ;)

@Giorgio:
I just reported this issue in the MozillaZine Builds forum. Since this might warrant a fix in Fx 3.0, please don’t do anything on your end to make the problem go away. It’s the only test case I have. If it comes to that, may I ask you for assistance in putting together a Bugzilla report with a minimal test case that isn’t tied to a production web page?

@Alan:
Definitely worth a bug report in Mozilla’s Bugzilla.
Many thanks for your findings :)

Had time to try Adblocking some content. Turns out that it’s necessary and sufficient to block the bricks_lf.jpg for GP 3.0a7 to scroll reasonably. Should I report this as a bug in bugzilla and/or the MozillaZine builds forum?

Well, I couldn’t leave well enough alone. Went to http://hackademix.net in both Gran Paradiso 3.0a7 and Minefield nightly 20070812. Scrolling performance is poor on both of them: about five or six lines per second, as opposed to the relatively speedy scrolling of about 40 lines per second in Fx 2.0.0.6. No extensions, default prefs. mozillazine.org scrolled at normal speed in all three, so it seems like there’s something special about hackademix.net that slows things down in Fx 3.0. Advise please?
