nafsI've got an Acer Aspire One netbook running Linpus Lite (Acer's OS based on Fedora 8)
Ever since I first upgraded to Firefox 3.x it would decide to hang for several seconds every half hour or so. I thought maybe Firefox was getting too big for my tiny netbook, but a while back I found out it was common problem for Aspires and just kept crossing my fingers for it to be fixed in the next update... and the next... and the next. Today I revisited my favourite AAO blog and found out the problem has been fixed in the alpha build of 3.7. Suddenly browsing is smooth again, as well as faster than I remember!
Since it's an alpha build some of my add-ons, including Greasemonkey, PDF Download and Feed Sidebar aren't compatible but by I can survive until 3.7 goes to the public. Just thought I'd pass this along in case others are having similar problems.
