Whenever I start the laptop up the web pages are very slow to load...maybe half an hour or more. I then get a message saying "Firefox is not responding". What can I do to speed it up?

Start Firefox using Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
