Firefox Question

I recently converted from Opera to Firefox. It was a painful process and I'd rather not do it again, so switching to Safari is a last-ditch option. But I'm having this problem with Firefox 3.5.7 for the Mac. I'm running Mac OS 10.4.11. What I find is that if I leave Firefox up for any length of time (and I prefer to leave it up all the time, and just sleep my machine when I'm not using it) the scroll bar arrow reduces in function to the point where it'll get so slow it's unusable. I'm talking six or greater seconds to move down one line of text. While clicking in the scroll bar will drop it down by a page as it's supposed to, the arrow key becomes unusable until I restart Firefox. Any clue as to why this is, or what I can do about it, other than to migrate back to Opera (which was having trouble loading pages, especially Making Light), or moving on to Safari? Thanks.
