Latest Firefox on XP invariably freezes within startup reporting 'Not Responding' in Task Manager & is excruciatingly slow overall. Have performed uninstall/reinstall several times as well as all recommended maintenance procedures I could find all to no avail.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
