From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.5+) Gecko/20011029 BuildID: 2001102910 http://www.uspto.gov/ contains Javascript which causes various things to appear when you put the mouse over one of the five menu bars on the left side of the page. If you wave the mouse over these bars, the different texts (corresponding to each bar) flash. The response time is a small fraction of a second using Netscape 4.77 on Linux. Under Mozilla, the "flashing" is perhaps 50X slower -- it takes over 1 second for each Javascript-generated change to appear after moving the mouse to a new menu bar. This might not necessarily be a bug in the Javascript engine, e.g. if the input events are being throttled somewhere upstream. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Go to http://www.uspto.gov/ 2.Wave the mouse over the 5 blue menu bars on the left side. Notice the long response time (> 1 second) to switch between menu descriptions. 3.Do the same under Netscape 4.77 (bring up a simultaneous process). Notice the near-instaneous response to the same waving.
