Does anyone know how to prevent the new internet software from slowing down my computer and its responsiveness?
Macbook, Mac OS X (10.5.8)
but why?
you can download firefox on another machine. Even a pc. avoid decompressing the download.

Try to be a little more verbose in your replies. It failed doesn't say much. We know that. You are here.

I really don't know why. The decompression does not always seem to be the problem. Sometimes it doesn't even download after checking my computer,
sometimes it downloads and stops there, sometimes it decompresses and still does not install. But they simply don't work for my computer. I would love to know why this isn't possible, technically.
That suggests a more basic set of problems.
I suggest:
You may want to run these "standard" fixes if the problem persists.
1) Check the amount of free space on your harddrive. You should have a several gigs free.
2) You should run disk utility
Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility
a) verify the disk
b) update your permissions.
3) Try a safe boot.
Shutdown your machine. Hold down the shift key. Poweron. Wait awhile; wait awhile while you harddrive
is being checked.

What features and apps does safe boot leave out?
internet vs computer
