After upgrading to Leopard, Internet slo

[MylesDanielBake]

Basically I upgraded to Leopard, and right afterward my computer's default Safari browser and Firefox were running slow. I have FasterFox installed to Firefox as well, so I was loading pages in the blink of an eye. Now, it takes 20seconds plus to load pages that would normally load in 2. I re-installed Firefox, but haven't tried anything with Safari yet. Help is appreciated!

You don't give details of your Mac or how you upgraded and whether you also upgraded your non-Apple applications or how you establish your Internet connection. I don't use Firefox but I understand that some plug-ins are "broken" in Leopard.

that's strange. I have firefox and fasterfox installed and webpages load at lightning fast speeds for me.

Well Safari hacks and extenders are messing with Leopard because those developers have NOT updated those Safari plugins. So make sure you delete Safari plugins in Leopard and try again.

It may be my entire computer running slower than it used to.

I have a 2.0Ghz Macbook running on 2 X 1.0 GB ram with an 80 GB HD. I have the hard-drive partitioned to 47GB on the Mac and 27 assigned to Windows. I connect with WEP wirelessly to a Linksys WRT54G router running DSL. After upgrading to leopard my entire computer seems to be running slower. I noticed it most on my internet applications, but since I am not at school I haven't been using my computer for much else. I have checked for updates, and have uninstalled all Firefox and Safari plug-ins. I called an Appletech and he didn't seem to be able to do anything. i looked at some forums online and tried some of the suggestions they made there. I didn't want to do anything until I received word from here.

I have iStat Pro in my widgets, and my CPU is often mostly idle, and my Memory shows a lot free. I do only have ~8GB of memory free on my Mac. I have tried re-installing Firefox and all the plug-ins. Safari just doesn't work, and it seems that my entire computer is sluggish. Applications taking longer to load and quit, etc. I am taking my computer to the Mac Store sometime in the near future, but if I can get anything out of the way here that would be great.

Thanks for all the help, I am looking for suggestions to get this problem resolved.

I also upgraded my firmware on my router, tried to run iFreeMem, and nothing has worked yet. I fixed permissions, but nothing really has made any significant progress.

If you meant to say "8GB of disk space free", then that could definitely be a reason for a slow system.
OS X needs a lot of free disk space to run well.
On the other hand, if you really only have 8GB of memory free, do tell us how much you have installed.

Yes; 8GB of disk space free. I will try moving my iTunes files onto my external hard-drive. I will follow up with an update once I have done that.
