the home content tab where "Top Sites" and "Highlights" appear, that part when i start Firefox has become slow to appear. first a loading icon would appear then seconds later the home content. at home, how i "fixed" this is to reset Firefox but at the office i do not want to reset as i'll loose many cookies/settings/etc.,

has anyone got a fix for this without resetting Firefox?

Start your Computer in safe mode with network support. Then start Firefox. Try Secure websites. Is the problem still there?
