    It's weird as it started to happen within the last week and it's intermittent. What happens is the drop down toolbar for my bookmarks takes about a second or two before it responds. Then if I close it and reopen FF3 it might clear up but it's not guaranteed.

    I'm running it on a Vostro 1500 with a T5270, 4GB of memory, 160GB HDD. 8400GS and Vista SP1.

    The only programs I have running in the background is Avira and SpywareBlaster. Has this been happening to anyone else? :confused:

    I even increased the cache to 70MB up from 50MB.

    No Wireless I don't, but I kinda figured out when it usually happens which is a start. FF3 is not very responsive when I bring the laptop out of sleep mode.
