Trash won't Trash
I have just noticed that I have 1246 items in my trash, and for reasons to do with syncing my storage folder onto my ipad I want to empty the trash. (See here:http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/13000/safari-extensions-announced/#Item_15)
Whenever I try to do this, however, it just crashed Firefox. After about 10 seconds firefox becomes completely unresponsive, and it does not seem to matter how long it is left. The activity monitor on my MacBookPro tells me that sometimes firefox then jumps up to 50% of the use of the CPU when this happens. That seems a lot!
Any ideas?

All fixed now. It turned out to be a matter of leaving firefox running for an hour or so while taking photos of the sun setting with rainbow over London....
best,
