Since upgrading to latest version, my Firefox is as sluggish as Internet Explorer, almost identical. I'm wondering if there is a fix for this?

If you've used IE, then this new version looks like and acts like it on my PC. It is constantly re-downloading a page, just like IE does, slowing mouse response and lagging for every page visited. I can't find where or what is different from the last version that was performing just fine.

Unrelated, but in my opinion, IE has gotten a lot better from the last time I used it, although not good enough to replace Firefox. :)
