firefox 9 makes mac os 10.6.8 slow
While using firefox 8 I received the firefox update notice window so I updated my 2 macs to firefox 9. Shortly after both computers acted as though they had a virus or something. They ran very slow and took forever to do anything. Everything even the mail took forever to process every click. Mail and even firefox took forever to load up. I had to uninstall firefox on both computer before they would operate properly. I'm using Safari now and everything is working find as soon as I removed firefox. Whats up? Thanks, Larry Simmons
