Doug, I've seen a couple of cases recently where a person's Safari or
Firefox bookmarks file has somehow gotten tens of thousands of
duplicate bookmarks with no URLs, and one of these two people told me
that this caused a slowdown in Firefox and Safari.
If you're still having the problem, please look through all of your
bookmarks. Also check the size of your bookmarks files:
~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist
~/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles.xxxxxxxx.default/places.sqlite
Unless you really do have tens of thousands of bookmarks, the Safari
file should be less than a few hundred KB, and the Firefox file should
be less than a few MB.
Let me know if you need help in doing this, or if find anything
suspicious.
Sincerely,
Jerry Krinock
