Hi, I am a new switcher here, so I figured I would put my question in here in case it is a stupid or common switcher-related issue.
Basically.. I have found that on occasion, firefox can be hang on me a bit.
What I mean by this is typically what happens is that, as I try to any of the following:
a) switch tabs
b) hit page down
c) switch into firefox from another app via apple-tab
Firefox will actually just sorta hang there a sec, and the beachball cursor comes up. Now, this is a fresh install of Tiger, on a 1.2ghz iBook w/ 768MB of ram. The only software I have put on it is: firefox,camino,AIM,Office, and some widgets. Usually when this problem occurs, the only other program that is running is AIM.
Typically I do not leave my computer on overnight as my apartment can get a little hot (upper 70s), so is OS X missing its chance to run its idle-time scripts, causing my firefox issue? Any other solutions?
