I just updated to the latest version of firefox yesterday. Since then,the browser has been very slow & unresponsive. When I go to tools 2 clear recent history it takes forever and then sometimes freezes. The old version worked perfectly and was very fast

Unfortunately it can not be recommended that you go back to firefox 6, some of the fixes were security fixes, and firefox 6 is no longer considered secure or supported. ( Firefox 3.6.23 was updated and is still temporarily supported, but I doubt many would consider downgrading that far)

Check that all your extensions are up to date. Possibly it is due to a change in the version or combinations of themes plugins and add-ons that you use. You clearly have out of date plugins showing.
