Do you have a lot of internet tabs open? Or webpages that use a lot of resources? Maybe lots of graphics/flash/etc..?

Flash ads are pretty much the only thing I've noticed that slow up Firefox.
An ad-blocker or something to that extent would probably help if that's what's causing your problem. |

Heh you ain't the only one that does it Josh XD
And my back-up Dell has 1.6 GHZ Williamette and it runs it smooth as butter, RAM is probably a factor. If you have 256MB it is probably bottlenecking. |

i have 1 gig of ram
 its the flash ads that are doing it. I hate the IPOD banner. i like to look up resources while i play. might have to go back to IE  how can i block the ads or can i disable the flash so they can't upload? |

Ok but I still don't see how they can be lagging you. My dell has 512MB RAM and it doesn't lag.
Well that is your choice, but your sacrificing speed for security :P |
