Started up in Safe Mode and cleared the cache. I kept Firefox opened for a bit and did not get the beach ball. Quit Firefox and restarted --- and it's back!!!!!!!! (Don't know if this complicates or makes the problem clearer, but all of a sudden I can't print from my laptop. The printer is plugged into the desktop>into Airport>into cable modem. X-Marks has screwed up my Bookmarks. So I have been organizing them on the desktop ---between beach ball restarts. When I had them just as I wanted, I had Foxmarks export them (Firefox doesn't have an Export feature, just Import from Safari) imported them into Safari and then had Firefox import them again. All the while starting Firefox--force quit and restarting Firefox.)
