Fire Fox is not cooperating lately. It's going so slow most of the time that I've started using IE again.

Any suggestions?

Have you tried these forums? http://forums.mozill...wforum.php?f=38

Also, try using Fasterfox extension and/or FireTune.

A slow Firefox is usually blamed on some extension problem.

If I remember correctly, last year when 1.5 was released, there were issues with a tab extension and also themes. You need to post your problem on their support forum that I linked and they'll figure out.

You could also try updating your extensions. I can see that at least your IE Tab and Tabbrowser Preferences are old.

That is one thing that FF never seems to do for me: update my themes/extensions automatically. I have it set to do so, but it never does. It should check for updates when you run FF, or at least let you pick when you want it to look for them. That is my only quibble with FF, but it is definitely a nuisance!

Themes sucks, lol. :P

Try remove/disable all extensions and themes and see if it works better?
