What about your mouse pad? It can become a little icky, and the surface needs cleaning once in awhile, if it is a synthetic of some kind. As opposed to leather, for instance.
My vote here is that it's either the mouse or the mouse pad.
I've used a Kensington Orbit trackball for years, and it's great. When I bought the new iMac, for awhile I used the Mighty Mouse which came with it: missed my trackball so much that I had to buy a new Kensington, bec. the old one wouldn't interface with the iMac. I've found I get far less wrist pain with the Trackball...
I have frequent lock ups since the latest FF update and a new browser. Did you find a solution to your locks, or are you just typing slowly.

Actually, after reading this thread and being a FF user myself. I have had FF lock up on me when trying to open things too quickly. For instance, clicking on a link and before that link is loaded and the page directed, click another link and have it just lock up tighter than a snare drum. I found this happens more with pages that are heavy java though. The CD forum gig as mentioned about I think is more of server load than browser issue. I think it may be their secret way of saying, are you sure you want to post this?

Mine lock ups were due to an email encryption plug-in and once removed, its right as rain.

Well, I ain't too much a hillbilly from the South, but I sure live in the hills, and although I thank you for these links, none of them appear to answer my locks.
And, I am on a Mac, so the run isn't going work, no way.

Reason: added..
No, I am not running Safari as I have an older version of OS, and it interferes with other programs/applications, etc. So I've been using FF exclusively.
I might just have to upgrade my OS and go back to safe Safari.

Really. It is So worth it. Safari is working great for me; only very seldom do I get an error message, and even then it's just a spontaneous exit, not a freeze.
I also have Opera, just for a back up, but Safari works better, IMHO.
After all this stuff I'm reading about Firefox there is little chance I choose to go that direction. And IE? NEVER...
/partial hijacking of thread...
Macrina - that is funny I never but rarely use Safari, whereas oldest child and woman, that is all that they use; Safari, I dunno, but just don't feel as smooth, easy, friendly, nor as fast as FF - to me. lol, and as far as IE, lol; that is only used at work for mandatory work-related sites...
