Whom ever can help,
At work I use a Dual 1.8ghz Mac with 1.25 GB of ram.... and the operating system is 10.3.9
Now when using Firefox 2.0 and I have about 5 tabs opened, dpchallenge always hangs up anywhere from 2-5 minutes, when I hit refresh or I am browsing pictures, or just reading a posting. I cant figure out why... so I restart firefox and then its fine. But when its hangs up I check it on safari and it loads fast right away. For some reason firefox is so slow.
But now I am getting frustrated so if I want to use Safari v1.3.1 (which I love) I cant because on safari all insert buttons pop up when clicked but anything I type in those windows nothing will insert on my posting that I am typing. For example when I click the insert thumbnail button and I type or paste in the number I dont get the [thumb]number would be here of course[/thumb]
if anyone can help thanks, firefox just slows up and hangs on me here

Have you emptied the browsers' cache?
I'd also update my OS to 10.4.8, repair permissions and run a maintenance utility like Onyx every once in a while...

Did v1.5 of Firefox work okay for you? v2.0 has just been released, so still might be a bit buggy.
You can get the previous version for the Mac from here;
//releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/1.5.0.8/mac/en-US/

I find v2.0 too slow (especially to launch) and thus only use Safari now, but can't replicate the issue in either browser (Mac OS 10.4.8).

Have any issues with other sites that use Javascript?

No issues from other sites that use similar insert buttons. All others work just fine in safari

You may want to update your current OS?
