Hey Guys,
First i would like to say this is my first post when im confused with something on my mac i google it and i always see this site. So i would like to say Hello and Thanks. This site is amazing!

Back to the problem,
So i love firefox and i installed it right away without using safari. Anyways, i started to use safari the other day and i liked it. So i transferred my bookmarks and uninstalled firefox. I have 2 issues though, one on firefox and one on safari. 1. On Firefox when im downloading files, i have only seen it on rapidshare, my cousin uploaded a picture album and i wanted to download it. I noticed while it was downloading that the time left became --:-- and the download speed was the same. A couple of seconds passed and it was back to normal it kept doing it consistent, it said it would take like 10 minutes but it took like 30 between those "pauses". What's the exact word and is there a way to fix it, can someone explain to me what that is. I tried googling but i have no idea what to write.
2. (This is the problem with safari now) I was browsing normally, i reset safari and cleared the cache. I went on all the sites with logins and saved the password (facebook,twitter,insanelymac, etc.) Everything was loading normally and i shut safari, command tab q. I loaded it up and i went to amazon.com, i have it as a bookmark menu item and all of a sudden it took me to myspace.com. I was like wtf. So i shut safari, tried again same thing. Cleared cache and reset safari and same thing i logged off same thing. So i shut the mac down for a bit and then it was loading normally. What happened? Virus?

Thanks,
Maiden
