While i am not an IT expert, I have problems with Firefox on my 2 dell laptops here. In the office we have 6 computers, a mix of dell, Apple, & China IBM.
-They all seem to be abet different, i assumed it was the age/software issues, but now ?...
- as moondog said, the core problem is speed in china, which can vary on the time of day. i avoid 9 am & 5 pm (china time) internet use if possible durring week days.

- BTW, Dell ebay has some great prices on older laptops with all the US software... I have bought several that way & brought them here to China, & then the Dell service hotline will redirect you to India if calling from China.
