Hi everyone. First post here. I'm using a Quicksilver unit running OSX 10.4.11
All was fine until I ' updated ' it due to the Firefox plug in warnings to update them.
My software update is current.
But I updated JAVA to 1.5.0_19 and Flashplayer to 10.1.102.64.
The videos did seem to play better and I didn't get the buffering circular wheel effect on the screen.
But two days ago both Firefox and Safari have been painfully slow in basic site connections. Sometimes a page will show up blank yet says ' done ' at the bottom of the page.
My main browser is Safari, yet I only use Firefox for the YouTube downloading ability.
I have cable connection yet I feel like I'm using my old Performa running OS7.
LOL!
Any ideas of what went wrong?
I'm currently using Opera which is running at normal fast speed.
Thanks for any help.
