I’m kind of confused. Wasn’t Firefox browser default search engine changed to Yahoo, before , in Ubuntu 9.10? From What I heard until now they decided to change it back to Google.

Greetings,
I upgraded my wife’s Toshiba Satellite A105-S2001 to 10.4 from 9.4. It is running pathetically slow now.
Any ideas?
btw
I can get around fine in windows environment but am have difficulty stumbling around in Linux … like loading software that doesn’t auto load.
Thanks for any help/suggestions you may have.
