I know that there are related questions:
but both are quite specific to me.
I'd just like to see a list of good tips for increasing FireFox speed generally, especially start-up speed. This morning it took 3 - 5 minutes to start!
Possible answers may include
- Configuration settings
- Memory hungry extensions
- Other tips
Thanks in advance.
Edit: I've the following plugins/AddOns installed:
- Adobe DLM
- AllowClipboard Helper
- ColorfulTabs
- Download Statusbar
- Firebug
- Flashblock
- IE Tab2
- Java Quick Start
- printpdf
- Smart Bookmarks Bar
- Tab Mix Plus
- Spellchecker
1How many plugins/addons do you have installed? Which ones? as CGA pointed out, there might be something seriously wrong with your system, so please also post the specs of it. – Bobby – 2010-09-27T08:25:02.597

Robinson: Can you please create a new profile following this instructions and test if it resolve the issues? If yes, follow this tutorial on how to clean up garbage and try deactivating AddOns/PlugIns one at a time until FF speeds up.
– Bobby – 2010-09-27T10:36:49.527@Bobby - yes, that worked! Thanks so much. Do you want to add it as an answer so that I can accept it? Important notes: 1. in the first link I had to enter "fullpath\firefox" -p in the run command and 2. in the second link the profile folder was in firefox\defaults folder. – Reinstate Monica - Goodbye SE – 2010-09-27T11:05:14.353
