fedora-test or fedora-devel are probably better lists for this question,
but I've had similar issues with the latest epiphany/moz-1.6, though not
necessarily to the same degree. While the browser is getting data for a
large page (possibly waiting for the server to provide dynamically-built
pages?), I am only able to switch tabs either immediately after clicking
(within 1-2 seconds) or after the page loads.
