Animation working very slow in my Firefox 3

Look at this code snippet:

$('#clickme').click(function(){blinkText($('#SendedText')); });

function blinkText(element)
{
    $(element).fadeIn('slow');
    $(element).fadeOut('slow');
}

http://jsfiddle.net/aXMtH/5/

This code works fine in all browsers except Firefox 3. Why does Firefox show and hide text so slowly? How can I fix this behavior?

Firefox 3 is an old browser, there is nothing wrong with your code and you can no more fix this problem than you can alter previous releases of firefox. If it's really bothering you you could use browser detection and do something simpler for FF3 and older

// Select Firefox under 3.x
if (jQuery.browser.mozilla && jQuery.browser.version <= '1.9') {
// alternative behavior.
}

There's nothing wrong with your code that could case the slowdown. However, try to change

$(element)

to

element

because your element is already an jQuery object. If that won't work, that's probably a bug in your Firefox version. It's already version 7 now...

function blinkText(element)
{
    element.fadeIn('slow');
    element.fadeOut('slow');
}
