Web links are sluggish

[Carlos Sevcik]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Opening links on several pages is sluggish. You can see the link but dragging the cursor to the link does not result in the little hand that indicates an activable link, clicking on the link has no effect. But if you do nothing and wait a couple of minutes, the problem seems to go away and the link behaves normally. I have observed this in several pages with links that behave normally with the opera browser never open in Firefox or are "sluggish" as described above. A site where the "sluggishness" is usually easy to see is www.linux.org, the first link to the articles in the page works OK, but when you try to open the second link to read the article in a whole page, is sluggish or never opens. Again Opera works perfectly well on this site.
