After recently updated firefox to 4.0 it runs very slowly. This occurs even with only one tab open. The mouse moves slowly over the firefox window and typing an email in a web based email (live.com and exchange webmail (I know its probably best run in IR but ...) is very frustrating because the cursor lags behind by 2 or 3 words at least. The computer is a asus eeepc 1101HA with windows xp.

I also had this problem on asus eeepc. Try uncheck checkbox 'Use hardware acceleration when available' in Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> General. It works on my notebook...
