Until a couple of weeks ago I had a really strange speed problem with
FF/Iceweasel. It would run really happily even with multiple tabs open,
but as soon as I opened a second browser window it would grind to a
halt. If I was (eventually) able to close one of the two browser windows
it would speed back up again. This fault appeared with Mozilla's vanilla
Firefox as well as Iceweasel.

I was never able to get a good enough handle on the problem to report
it as a bug, but now using the latest Mozilla release it's fine again.
