1) When many tabs are opened in multiple rows (say 50 or 100) it may take an enternity for them to close after I click the appropriate command

2)MOre often than not, it takes the browser too long to appear (open) after I initiat it by clicking the desktop or start menu icon.

NB: My first question is PRIMARY (critcally important) and second is additional (would very much like to receive an answer but it's not critical).

Thanks a lot in advance! Best regards, Dmitry.

Thank u for your attempt to help, but my problem has NOTHING TO DO with bookmarks - it's all about tabs. It's TABS, not bookmarks, that do not close.

Maybe u have some ideas specifically regarding tabs and why it takes them so long to close?

Sorry about the bookmarks misread, I installed a Multi-Row Tab style, not for me but it in use deleted 126 of 130 tabs in about 3 seconds and then the last 4, no idea why that happens with the with the multi-row style.

Did those 100 pages have web forms in them that you filled in an Firefox may be saving data along with the session.

Here is a test page that you can quickly load up to 120 tabs at a time with an extension such as "Linky". See it if it takes an eternity to close them with the Multi Row tabs extension you are using, then try the same with the extension disabled. Works fast for me all tabs are on one row.

Two Extensions to Help -- you may already have one or both

Style that can be installed after installing "Stylish" extension, style will show two rows of tabs you have to scroll up/down. This style does not recognize app-tabs formatting, new in Firefox 4.

I put all my tabs on one row you probably would not like it, but you might like the one with the tab borders, which almost works again using multi-row tabs:
