My laptop has already booted and then when I try to load firefox, it takes so long that I leave my computer and prepare a cup of coffee and when I get back I can just start to see it open up. I have eliminated all of the tool bars and it is not any more speedy. My operating system is Vista home premium. Before all the upgrades it use to open almost instantaneously. Now I have to wait at least almost 50 t0 60 seconds or longer.
