thanks, but i've already tried these. several times. so i updated again, the getting started tab did go away, but now the "welcome to firefox/hooray! your firefox has been updated" tab keeps coming up. and it still makes it load slow. a little faster, but not by much. in options, my homepage is set to yahoo, no "|" symbols. the home page is set and comes up along with the welcome page. so, i have two tabs that open at the same time. and my preferences are saved. any more suggestions?
