 What vers of Firefox?
 What add-ons?
 Have you tried clearing its cache?

version 3.0.8
Adblock Plus 1.0.1
I hadn't been clearing cache, so I found a place under prefs/privacy
to get cache cleared after every shut down.
Secondly, it typically takes 30 to 90 seconds for the 'pinwheel to
stop' whenever I simply add an empty folder to bookmarks - that makes
me think it is not related to cache or add-ons.
Does this tidbit change the prognosis?
Next time Firefox freezes will examine Console to see if I can
translate something, but it's not a language I understand.
thanks, Del

How many bookmarks do you have? Are they in folders?

I just switched over from Safari 3.2.1 to Firefox 3.0.7
because Safari would continually crash. I'm pretty lazy
about my thousands of bookmarks, and I notice Firefox
is far slower to open them.

One other thing that slows it way down is all the little
bookmark icons, whatever they are called. Loading those
slows it down too, maybe there is a corrupted one?

On a PC, you're supposed to export your bookmarks and
settings and create a new profile. This often solves
problems in Windoze Firefox, I'm not sure if it applies
to Mac Firefox.

Hope this helps,
  Stephen

It will work; you need an adapter.

There was some discussion of this on one of the lists Im subscribed  
to, G4 list, this one, Macintel...a month back or so, long discussion  
about replacing HDD's in iPods with the CF adapters. AFAIK the only  
ones where they're directly compatible are the first gen Nano's, which  
used a CF HDD.

Google 'using Compact Flash in iPod' you'll get a lot of hits.

 Maybe we should have a rule about this sort of thing

   
I thought there was a rule. There are certain people who almost always 
post under. Bruce and Dan but to name a few. When I noticed that I was 
lagging behind, I set T-bird up so that when I click reply, the response 
I type goes at the bottom of the OP. I'd like to find a way to only 
respond to sections of the OT. I'm trying but I'm not good at it yet.
