hi, could you try to capture a performance profile while the problem is apparent and share it with us - perhaps this can provide more clues to what's going wrong: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Performance/Reporting_a_Performance_Problem

thank you!

Are you sure this is secure? mmm... n offense but as i've learned, this would give a lot of info about my activity on the net!

it captures the sites you're on and the code that is executed in firefox during the time you're capturing the performance profile. if you think there's anything sensitive, then please just start a new browser session and capture a profile - no other urls will be shared this way, if you are concerned about that.

there seems to be some problem accessing your profile on the server. sometimes this is sorting itself within a matter of hours, but that doesn't seem to be the case so far. could you try the same procedure once again? sorry for the hassle...
