I've been using Firefox 3.0 (with Tiger, Powerbook G4 1.25) for a while, but the spinning beachball is just driving me crazy. Activity monitor often shows 100% cpu usage, mostly attributed to Firefox, even when nothing is loading and all I'm doing is typing (or doing nothing). I've tried clearing the cache and I've tried using G4-optimized Firefox (Minefield). Nothing seems to work.
I'd rather stick with Firefox if I could due to the useful add-ons, but I've currently switched over to Safari, which is very fast and uses hardly any system resources. Does anybody know of a fix for the spinning beachball of death?
