Firefox on the Dell Mini 9; Google Reader

I noticed Firefox acting more sluggish than normal and wondered if Google Gears was the culprit. I disabled the extension to no avail. I then tweaked Google Toolbar, disabling many features. I also set the browser history to only retain the last 5 days. This improved page browsing drastically. Before, scrolling and typing would be jerky and delayed. Now, they are more responsive. Google Gears is back on, as are offline GMail and Google Docs.

Globally, the "Friends List" on Google Reader is broken. It gives me an error indicator at the top of the page and does not load my Friends' items. Oddly enough, I can go into an individual folder of a Friend, and also the Comment View sub-folder. I wonder what I did to break my Friends Items, and I wonder if I will ever get it back.

Composing e-mails on a cramped bus seat proves easy on the Mini. I sometimes bring it into work and type up notes on Google Docs. Mostly, I read Google Reader and GMail and sometimes Facebook. It's a mixed blessing to not have 3G internet connection.
