FFox loads VERY slowly, even with add-ons disabled, but has normal speed in safe mode. How to fix?

Firefox Troubleshooting

All webpages load in a choppy and slow way. Ditto with video. I tried refreshing FFox, disabling all add-ons, and uninstalling/reinstalling. None of that worked. Then I tried safe mode, and that worked: pages loaded normally. My OS is Windows 7 Professional. I've used FFox for many years, but it is not usable with my current problem.

Thanks!!
