If
Firefox is misbehaving, there's a chance its Hardware Acceleration
feature is causing problems. Weblog Tweaking with Vishal recommends
turning it off to solve problems with startup times, blurry fonts, and
more.
Firefox
has hardware acceleration set to "on" by default, but it's still young,
which means some video cards or drivers might have problems with it.
Vishal found that it solved his long boot times (9-10 seconds), and others have had similar results
(as well as fixing blurry fonts on some machines). It isn't a cure-all
for everyone, of course—you may notice no speed changes at all—but if
you're having some serious problems, it's worth a shot. Of course, it
could just be all those add-ons you've installed too.
To turn it
off, just head to Firefox's Options and go to Advanced. Uncheck "Use
Hardware Acceleration When Available."
