Cursor shows as busy Firefox 3.5 / Gnome

Ello

I'm using Firefox 3.5 on Gnome and when I launch Firefox the cursor shows as busy for upto 30 seconds even though Firefox is fully loaded and I'm browsing about.  Firefox 3.11 was fine and I upgraded through Pacman to 3.5 when it became available.

Out of curiosity I tried opening Firefor 3.5 in an Openbox session and all was fine, so it's something to do with Gnome.

Anyone have any ideas?

Mine too. I just ignore it, but if someone knows what's going on, I'm game!

I also noticed this when I upgraded my system, under a week ago. I had not upgraded for probably a month before that.
I first noticed this when opening shiretoko, but it also happens when I open an mp3 with vlc.
I have also just been ignoring it. @_@

Aye, I guess it is a minor annoyance only, but it's an annoyance none the less.  Maybe has something to do with DE Session Manager as in WM's (Openbox, Fluxbox that I've tried) the problem doesn't manifest itself.
