I have not followed this thread but last night when re-re-installing
F10, there was a FF update and it got me thinking. Are the number of
languages an issue still? I ask this as I was prompted to turn off a
large list of languages.
FWIW, I don't find FF slow on an old 1.4G machine. I just don't have
that man plugins running.
What does top say?
