[wplug] gmail & firefox

[Bobbie Lynn Eicher]

My desktop is running Firefox 3.01 as well, with an install of  
Ubuntu's current packages.  I haven't actually noticed any special  
slowness with the star icons.

The hardware is more current than yours (a low end Core2Duo processor,  
for example), though I find it a bit difficult to believe that those  
stars are somehow requiring so much processing on the client end that  
it really matters...

If it's of any use in continued research, the plugins currently  
running in my FF install for Ubuntu:
Default Plugin, Demo Print Plugin for unix/linux, DivX Web Player,  
Helix DNA Plugin, iTunes Application Detector (seems like an odd thing  
to have on Linux, but somehow it got there, Quicktime might have done  
it), Quicktime Plug-in 7.2.0, Shockwave Flash (9.0 r124), Totem Web  
Browser Plugin 2.22.1, VLC Multimedia Plugin, Windows Media Player  
Plug-in 10

Extensions at the moment for that copy are pretty much just Delicious,  
Ubuntu's extensions, and the Update Scanner.

(Most of my more idle "I don't really know this site" kind of browsing  
happens on my laptop, so I haven't been bothering with so much ad  
blocking etc on that copy of FF)
