WordPress admin unresponsive in local dev environment

My local dev environment consists of MAMP, Chrome and Firefox. In certain places in the admin any of my wordpress installs are unreponsive, even with a completely fresh install with no plugins or themes enabled.

What I mean is that once I click a button like “save menu” under appearance->menus, or when I for example try to add three pages to a menu, an request is fired without response. One is an ajax request (the add to Menu Button that is) and another one is just a normal post request (save menu), both actions lead to no response.

I tried to

  • Upgrade MAMP
  • INcrease my memory_limit in php.ini

And I of course also searched the Internet like crazy for somebody who had a similar problem, to no avail.

Anybody having/had a similar issue?
