Firefox is so slow after i updated. I love the idea of extensions and adaptability, but it just seemed to get slower and slower?

As of version 10, I am getting more and more annoyed with the decrease in speed and the increase in sheer amount of memory it occupies. Using only a few addons (Adblock Plus, Always on Top, DownThemAll!, IE Tab 2 and Modify Headers) I feel that Firefox uses a far too big part of my 8 gigs of memory... sometimes even freezing and forcing me to close it via task manager. what can be done?

Hi freespeech468,

I'm sorry Firefox is being slow. You seem to have already checked the add-ons installed, there are a few other things you can do to reduce the RAM usage: Firefox uses too much memory or CPU resources - How to fix

You can also submit performance data to help make Firefox better.
