As Joar suggested, upgrading to 10.4.11 before doing additional troubleshooting would be a good idea. I understand there are certain situations where one needs to run an old OS, but using 10.4.4 on a general-purpose system connected to the Internet is not wise unless you have a very good reason. That point aside, I doubt Mozilla has tested (or would test) on such a system. Please run Software Update (repeatedly) if you can; there has been a bevy of security and reliability updates since 10.4.4.

Also, try Firefox 3.6.3. This was released about a week ago.

Ever since I got the latest Firefox (3.6.2) *something* has been throttling my modem, causing high in/out traffic via Internet Connect when there hasn't been anything going on. To correct it, I have to quit all browsers and kill off something called "mdimport". (Yeah, I know random kills are risky, but it works...) Any idea what might be happening? Should I send yet another
complaint to mozilla?
