pages loading slow

Is the speed slow on updates as well as web browsing?

as a matter of fact it's just web browsing the updates seem to be relatively fast..

Ok, what browser are you using?

mozilla firefox version 3.6.10 for ubuntu canonical 1.0

Yeah I thought so. The defaults in Firefox are god awful (Mind you firefox itself is a pisspoor excuse for a browser but I digress). You can use this guide:
http://www.ubuntugeek.com/speed-up-firefox-web-browser.html

I also suggest you install and configure your OS to use dnsmasq so DNS lookups are faster

LOL..O.K. I'll see what I can do..Is there another browser I can use besides firefox..I'm open for suggestions...

Chromium, Opera, Swiftfox, Arora, Midori

There are lots..

wonderful...I will check them out ...thank you so much...

I used the guide to make firefox faster but it didn't help much..So I went and downloaded chromium and it's unbelievably fast....Thank you for all your help....I really appreciate it....

 actionparsnip what browser do you run ? i have read your down grades of firefox several times . mine is 3.5.12 pre and is very fast as fast as chrome on my system . So what is your choice ?
