the home content tab where "Top Sites" and "Highlights" appear, that part when i start Firefox has become slow to appear. first a loading icon would appear then seconds later the home content. at home, how i "fixed" this is to reset Firefox but at the office i do not want to reset as i'll loose many cookies/settings/etc.,

has anyone got a fix for this without resetting Firefox?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.

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

Start your Computer in safe mode with network support. Then start Firefox. Try Secure websites. Is the problem still there?
