I'm using Firefox 2.0.17 on a Windows 98se(yes I know this is old) computer with a 900mhz processor and 448mb RAM. Periodically, I will get a warning that scripts are not responding on myfico.com and I have to click "stop script" to unfreeze Firefox. I get the same behavior on my Debian computer using Iceweasel (rebranded Firefox) 2.0.17 350mhz CPU with 298mb RAM. Both computers run on a 256k DSL connection.
Also, when composing messages - Firefox's built in spell check is disabled in the edit box.
