Couple of Problems

[Bhamid]

I just installed Ubuntu 9.10, and the first thing I noticed is how slow Firefox is, even slower than good 'ol IE. I've updated everything etc etc so I'm wondering if the Linux version of FF is normally like this?

Second one is how do I install the Nvidia drivers? When I downloaded them it was just a mass of scary files .

E: Can anyone tell me how to install Visual Boy Advance as well? (I'm guessing the vba app in the Ubuntu Repo isn't the same thing).

Ok, I used the easy option and used dangerstat's 1st method (thanks), and I googled solutions to the FF problem, and apparently there's a bug that needs to be fixed through update. The only thing I miss on Windows now is iTunes, and I found Banshee, but I can't subscribe to any podcasts, I've tried using the link for iTunes and Zune subscribe buttons but they don't work.

E again : Also on the WineHQ website i've seen people saying create <some file>, does that mean I just create a file with that name or do I have to do anything else?

EE: Internet is painfully slow, 60 kbps on normally max (400 kbps) I don't think its a FF problem because deluge is having the same problem.
