Already refreshed; keep getting "Firefox is not responding"! Painfully slow. WHY?

If I type a word, it appears 30 seconds later!!!!!! If I'm browsing, I constantly see "Firefox is not responding" all the time. I already restored to default settings last week; it just got worse. Cleared my cache and cookies - no change!!!!!!!

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?
