I just changed over from Safari, and Firefox is incredibly slow! Are there ways to fix this?

It's taking 30 to 60 seconds for Firefox to open any page. I just changed over from Safari, and this is about 10 times slower than Safari. Are there ways to speed up opening pages? I can't keep Firefox as my browser if it continues to be this slow. I have a Mac Mini, with Mac OS X as my operating system.
