I keep getting errors that a scricpt is taking too long to load and so on. A few different scripts, sometimes on after another meaning i can't do anything for a while.

Has anyone else noticed this?

Firefox is terrible nowadays, it crashes constantly (not literally but easily more than a few times day) nowadays. I just moved to Opera.

3.6.8 only had one problem which was the other day, the masterlock screen kept loading like 20times, but its fine now.

I've only had that problem with the Windows version ;)

It's usually caused by poorly written/thought about scripts (infinite loops etc.) If it's too much of a problem use Chrome or Safari (I still prefer Firefox btw.)

It's even worse on my MacBook, it's actually unusable, It forced me to switch on there. Example, when I right click on Firefox for Mac it takes like 10 seconds for the menu to pop up, doesn't sound like a long time but trust me, it is :P

I have to agree with you here too. Firefox does not play nicely with OS X. Then again I've also had a beef with Chrome after some software updates so I've gone back to using Safari. Ah, well--atleast scrolling is smooth :P

Works fine for me :(

OT; anyone remember when the Mac version had a really nasty default theme, in like Firefox 2?

I'm not sure which version this is, but I remember using and disliking the appearance of this:

This is the one I hated:

The buttons and everything look so windowsy.

I don't have any problems with Firefox (3.6.8), well one but that's Adobe Flash's fault.
