I have installed Firefox 7.0 on an Ultra-2 running Solaris 10. It runs  =

like a drain, using 100% of a cpu for long periods of time with little to  =

show for it. Pstack shows a stack of incredible depth, most of the  =

routines having something to do with "reflow". Their support site has  =

vague mentions of some graphics cards which might not be playing well.

Has anyone else seen this, and could it be due to the frame bufffer being  =

asked to do things it is not up to, and if so can it be configured not to  =

do them?
