hello guys, just installed the latest version of ubuntu and everything seems to be running fine so far. the one I've noticed is the firefox seems to be running a lot slower compare to when I ran it on XP. I am not an advanced user but is there something I can do to the OS to increased my performance? or is it a common thing with this glitch.

The problem seems to be FF3 and ubuntu.. I gave up on 3 because it was slow so I just uninstalled it and use the 2.5 variant from debian "iceweasel"
There are lots of other browsers.. I like kazehakase which is lean and fast.
