      Default Firefox

      Love it on my PC at work. Loathe it on my Macbook Pro at home. Anyone else feel the same on Apple stuff about Firefox?

      At first I thought this was going to be about the Clint Eastwood movie.

      I'm using it on a Macbook right now. Other than where the options are, preferences on Apple, tools on a PC, it works just like it does on my PC. I can't stand Safari. What's giving you problems?

      Hard to believe that that movie is 20 years old.

      Seems like it takes forever for some pages to load. I get the little rotary kaleidoscope. I don't get it on Safari at all and pages load much faster. I updated firefox, still the same. Any clue?

      Have a Mac. Pages load faster on Safari, but I also run into glitches all of the time with it. I only use Firefox when Safari hits a glitch such as not showing videos on Youtube, ESPN, whatever.

      The only pages that load slower for me are ones that have flash embeds, like YouTube. Safari may load them faster, but it then occasionally hangs when you go to navigate the page or play any of the videos. Safari has other things I don't care for, so I don't mind the wait.

      You might want to see if your flash player needs updating, if it's too slow for you.
