Since downloading the new firefox the page is very jerky when 2 finger scrolling down the page is there anywhere I can download the older version as i'm getting fed up of it, also pages seem to take longer to load. I have tried using Safari but it gets the fans spinning up almost immediately and nails the battery.

Try Opera, that's what I use on the macbook.

Firefox used to be superb, but the latest releases are rubbish. Had to edit some hidden options just to get the tab system working as it used to.

Opera or Chrome now

Cheers just downloaded it and seems good. Only problem I have is with the tabbed browsing and switching between tabs........ firefox has the best way of doing it (cmd and 1,2,3,4,5 etc) safari and Opera use cmd/alt and direction arrows which is much more work. frown

have you got the smooth scrolling checked? I don't have it checked, but mine scrolls perfectly smoothly without.

A bit late now, but old version(s) here: click.

FWIW. I swapped to chrome on windows and dumped FF.
