I didn't have any problem opening it Safari. ;)
Edit: I just tried it in Firefox 3.5.2 and no problem either.
I'm running Mac OS X Snow Leopard on a Macbook 2ghz duo, 2gb ram.
Possibilities: It could be Firefox 3.0, try updating. Or it might be the 64 bit power of Snow Leopard that makes it faster for me. But then again Firefox is still a 32 bit application.

Even so, it's pretty egregious that something so simple would be so heavy. Works fine in safari for me, too, but according to statcounter about 15% of people are still using FF 3.0.

Yes, I personally removed Addthis from my website. Social bookmark sharing isn't worth the extra overhead. And Sharethis is even worse than Addthis.

Was just wondering - what did you use to profile the page? Anything besides just firebug? I'm interested because we use AddThis as well, and I've noticed our site seems slow lately...
The Addthis script you're using has an onReady method that gets called 94 times on pageload and takes an average 12 seconds to run each time. During this time Firefox gets the dreaded beachball/umbrella.
I'm having similar issues on a site we're using sharethis on, but not quite that bad on page load - it does increase the constant load on the cpu by about 15% though.
Be careful when using these widgets...
