I was telling you about my issues with scrolling in Firefox (see #6). Well, I didn't manage to fix that for Firefox 3.5 but instead, I installed Firefox 3.6 beta 1 pre (Namoroka) and the scrolling now works perfectly (thanks to Tinhed for the tip!). Also, basically everything feels a lot faster, at least in Ubuntu. This is why I suggest you upgrade to Firefox 3.6.
Having second thoughts because you think your favourite Firefox extensions will not work with Firefox 3.6? I use about 40 add-ons and they all work, all you need to do is tweak FF a little (read about: making extensions compatible with any Firefox version).
Note: Tab Mix Plus users, install THIS version.
Before installing: remember, this is just beta pre so expect some bugs. If you are convinced to upgrade to Firefox 3.6, here's what you need to do to install it in Ubuntu. Open a terminal and paste the following commands (please note: if you used the Ubuntu Mozilla Daily repository to install Firefox 3.5, you should already have the PPA added to your Software Sources):

1. Add the Ubuntu Mozilla Daily PPA:
sudo sh -c "echo 'deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu karmic main' >> /etc/apt/sources.list"Replace karmic in the line above with jaunty, intrepid or hardy, depending on your Ubuntu version.
2. Add the GPG key:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 247510BE3. Install Firefox 3.6:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firefox-3.6You will then find Firefox 3.6 (Namoroka), under Applications > Internet > Namoroka Web Browser.
