Ever since I last updated Firefox (using a mac) I've noticed its been reallly I guess laggy.  It freezes for about two minutes once every half an hour or so.  Has anyone else had this problem?  It seems like it happens a lot more with NS than any other page.. may be because I'm on here more but it might be some scrypt NS uses that's different.. So yeah if anyone else is experiencing this let me know!

i'm not getting a two minute difference, more like two seconds, but it's noticeable. it may have to do with Ns though, because it's working fine on most other sites.

hmm yeah I just get the spinning color wheel for a minute or two and just now I got an error that said something about a failed scrypt.  I dunno it was a definite change when I last updated FF.. I just thought it was NS doing some work on the site at first.

I'm an idiot.. I got 3.0 now and its worked for the last hour.  I thought FF would have updated me to that automatically because it updated 2.0 like three days ago.
