Arse. Mine is fine but it does run a lot slower when receiving files from someone using a Windows MSN client. Does it make any difference if you send/receive to another Adium user?

Aye, was like that too with me, FF never felt the same on OS X as it did on Windows for me so I went over to Safari, occasionally popping to the Webkit nightlies for big feature jumps like now with SquirrelFish Extreme.

The beachball and Firefox love affair is a long standing problem relating to FF blocking itself whilst waiting for a response from a webserver. Normally you'll see if if a page has images linked to another site and that other site is a bit slow.

It was supposed to be fixed in FF3 but I'm still seeing it.
