Hello list,
All software has bugs. Some are known, and some are unknown.
Fortunately with free/libre and open source software, we have the
ability to diagnose and understand bugs.
In advance of Fedora 11 release, of course everyone has been hard at
work stomping out bugs, but there are still issues we know are not
fixed in the release. For many of these we have workarounds.
We've made a wiki page that records these bugs:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F11_bugs
do any of those bugs refer to the fact that (at least for me)
firefox is still teeth-grindingly slow? i've mentioned this before
and i've tried everything i can think of to speed it up but, at this
point, it's utterly unusable. even sitting there, it perpetually
sucks up 100% of the CPU on a dual core system, while seamonkey will
happily sit there, idling along at about 0.8%.
i'll give it another shot with F11 but, really, i can't believe how
utterly useless firefox is.
