why has the browser slowed to a crawl in the last week or so?
I have been using firefox for about 5 yrs now and haven't had to many problems til lately. It started not loading pages and then loading on 2nd try and takes forever to get there in the last week or so. Is there a reason that the browser has slowed so much? I have a laptop with windows 7, very powerful os system, shouldnt be a problem like this, never has been.

Start Firefox in Use Troubleshoot Mode in Firefox to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems
Security software that monitors Firefox or files used by Firefox too strictly can also cause such issues.
Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks.
- Shockwave Flash 10.0 r45
- Next Generation Java Plug-in 1.6.0_14 for Mozilla browsers
Update the Flash plugin to the latest version.
Update the Java plugin to the latest version.
