I developing a site with ruby on rails 3.1 on Lion. I’m using the nivo slider(content rotator). I loads without any noticable delay in Opera and Safari. But when loading in Firefox the it can take more than 10 seconds. No other content on the page will load until the slider is loaded. Also when i try to cache asset using <%= stylesheet_link_tag 'application', :cache=> true%> I get a wrong number of arguements error.
