    i think the latest version of firefox is horrible. with my laptop specs in the signature, i expperience general lagging with the software itself.. like when typing or trying to move to different tabs, there is like a second latency... when i reboot or reopen the browser it seems fine... im assuming that the browser is just horrible... but then again chrome and firefox both crash when play flash on youtube sometimes..

    Are we talking Firefox 5, or the beta Firefox 6 here? 5 runs fine for me but it doesn't use the NVidia card, there isn't a reason to use it anyway. Intel graphics are more than enough for web browsing.

    I have to agree with you Dellienware,I have the same lagging with Firefox 5 software,and the same delay when typing,and that is when using Intel's graphics.
    It can be a pain in the butt sometimes when typing live reply's on forums.
