"Futex" is a new word for me, though I see it is in Wikipedia. I thought maybe it was related to Fubar...
In other humor news:
"I went for the supreme advice.........I flipped a penny, and it said "DONT DO IT...."
What the hack, I tried a quarter, the quarter said "install". Here I go...."
This has a classic ring to me -- probably because it's the same standard I use for deciding whether to upgrade. If a coin flip doesn't tell me to install, I try a higher denomination coin.

@ crabolsky:
Mine is still as slow as before. It was bad then and does not seem any worse after SSU. Pages often take >20 seconds to load. If anyone wants a site to test for "maxed out loadapplet" and slowness, try maps.google.com. Pretty unusable, even from my 100 Mbps connection at work.
I'm holding on to the hope that Mobile Firefox will someday offer relief. And have Java support that works.

My browser is definitely taking longer to load pages. The load applet shows the cpu maxing out when loading pages that used to take about half that. Anyone else experiencing this?

Why worry about Fennec? The relief will come when MicroB is finally up-to-date with the latest stable Firefox releases (the timeframe for that would be Fremantle at the latest), which have very significant improvements in memory consumption and JavaScript performance compared the early alpha MicroB currently based on.

I think he wrote "Java" not "Javascript" intentionally, and I think that is a very large can of worms.

I'm not sure he was speaking of Google Maps in that sentence. I think he had passed beyond Google Maps, into the realm of clear blue skies, meals in a pill, and rocket packs for everyone.

hmm, and a raincoat.

should i do that?
if I do that do I have to follow the same instruction given to those who uninstalled by mistake?

No, you need to install the SSU update.
What is the next step?
A nuke-and-pave doesn't look so bad anymore.
