Note: "Safe Mode is a debugging startup mode available in Firefox, Thunderbird, and SeaMonkey 2, where all added extensions are disabled, the default theme is used, and default localstore settings (toolbar settings and controls) are used. Safe Mode also disables hardware acceleration, the Just-in-time (JIT) JavaScript compiler, and any changes made via userContent.css and userChrome.css. Any changes made to preference settings remain in effect in Safe Mode, however, and all available plugins are used." (Source: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_Mode )

To start in Safe Mode, hold down the Shift key while clicking the Firefox desktop icon for Firefox.

If Firefox is sluggish when in regular mode but not when in Safe Mode, the cause may be one of your extensions.
