Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
On Slashdot, when viewing comments, the view options bar that sticks to either the top of the window or the top left corner, seems to slow down scrolling significantly. This happens whether you have the panel docked to the corner or across the top. This is notably slower than in Firefox 2.x, which surprised me because of all the hype of Firefox 3 being so much faster at Javascript.
I'm using:
Kubuntu 8.04
package version: 3.0+nobinonly-

I too am facing the same problem. Scrolling was fast in Firefox 2, but in Firefox 3 it is slow.
