[svlug] Firefox/Thunderbird closing

[Jeff Frost]

Well, not being a debian guy, I don't know how to point you at different 
apt repositories, but you could certainly just go to getfirefox.com or if you 
have a supported processor, go to getswiftfox.com and use an optimized build. 
It made a big difference for me when I was still running on my Athlon XP 
system.  (I just upgraded to a Core 2 Duo and they don't have an optimized 
build for those yet.)
