Is it my computer or is it firefox?

When I right click on a link to download a file, firefox will beachball and wait almost 10 seconds before it starts to download after I click.

Whereas a right click to download a file on safari initializes instantly.

Sometimes I like to download multiple files an once and it is just not possible on firefox because of the beachball lag. Anyway, i know most of you will say just use safari damnit, but i'm a recent peecee switcher and i love firefox because of customization plus i am used to it.

Is there a fix for this issue?

I don't have this problem either. If no one here can help you then you should try going to Mozilla Firefox's official forums: http://forums.mozillazine.org/index....9f6af8ddfa5465

Are you using the latest version of Firefox?

Do you have any haxies installed?

Ticking sound coming from a .pkg package? Don't let the .bom go off! Inspect it first with Pacifist. Macworld - five mice!
