try creating a new profile. a big, bloated profile is usually the cause.

I don't have a bloated profile. Firefox was running smooth when it slowed down considerably middle of October. I don't know but maybe it has something to do with the trojans and some malwares MBAM found last week. They're still in quarantine though.

Read somewhere that as of JAN 2010 Internet Explorer is actually more secure than Firefox, Chrome, etc...that Firefox have a greater number of security holes and IE8 does a better job at blocking malwares. But that was 12 months ago.

How do you properly remove Firefox? Just the usual, from Add/Remove Programs? Just finished removing all malwares from my computer yesterday, and I plan on uninstalling and reinstalling it, to see if it works better and loads pages faster like when i first downloaded it.
