Mac PowerBook G4 12" - 10.4.11 - I have the latest version of Firefox up and running but still experience very slow processing and freezing on a regular basis - I see the multi coloured ball regularly throughout use and everything takes way longer than it should!
Please someone say they've found out how to sort it . . . . frustrating or what?! I've been dealing with this for over a year and my patience is wearing thin.

Have a Fab Xmas & Blessed N Prosperous Nu Year 2 U & Yrs!
