    Title says it all. I really hate this behaviour, it drives me mad. I've been googling for a while and found nothing, other than how to change what directory it uses for temporary files.

    Any ideas?

    (linux, by the way)

    I hate it to - in Windows it doesn't seem such a big deal but in Linux it does crawl....haven't figured out a way around it yet.

    try trawling through bugzilla - IIRC this is a huge, divisive issue that's unlikely to change soon...

    Internet explorer does the same thing anyways.

    Dump Firefox and get a real browser. (How's that for a troll ;))

    Yeah you're probably better waiting until the first major bug release for version 1.0

    Until then you are beta testing.

    RE: IE
    Can't wait till it comes out of Beta - think how fast it will be without all the debug code - they're up to 0.6 IIRC

    PS. I've seen stuff on getting IE5 working through wine - anyone know if the IE addons would work too ?
