Firefox is now just like IE - it sucks the life out of my computer

more options

I've updated everything. Extensions addons cleaned my computer - everything. And firefox is as fat and bloated as IE or worse it seems. Takes forever to respond. Take forever to close a tab. Takes forever to switch to other apps. It's just plain horrible. Isn't there a 'light' version without all the extra bloat that will work? Is there an older version I can load that's reliable?
