Therefore it is our understanding that this is soley related to forefox itself. We call this "feature" a software bug. We used G5 Dual 2.5s for the testing of this issue.

Interesting how if this is a Carbon issue why Apple has not yet done anything to change this, wonder how this is going to effect the newer intel machines.

Try the same thing with Photoshop, AppleWorks, or any other big carbon app. Same result. My guess is carbon is allocating resources the way OS9 used to."

I did try this out and found it do in fact use up 100% of my cpu but I don't see that to be a big issue, never had a problem highlighting, copying or anything like that... I found the 1.5 upgrade to be much faster and reliable on my 1.42 mini I read an article on how if you highlight some text or click and drag for some reason it uses 100% of your cpu.
