Anyone else having trouble using Firefox on a Mac?

Based on this Google search, the answer is "Yes." It never shuts down properly (I always have to force quit) and now I have started getting the spinning beach ball of death over and over. Time to try Camino.

Yes! This happened once I upgraded to Leopard using the same disk (Peijin's) that you did. The thing is, it's no just Firefox; I'm getting the same problem with Safari as well, especially when I try to load ESPN. Let me know if you find a way to fix this.

Rick:

I have Leopard preinstalled on this machine, and I still find that it hangs sometimes. But I have to say it's no worse than safari. and especially no worse that flock, which I was running before I grabbed firefox a few weeks back.

Dan:

Someone told me this could be a "CPU issue," but I honestly have no idea what that means. Restarting seemed to work most recently, but I don't want to have to continuously restart my MacBook, obviously.
