Firefox is very slow to load from a cold start. I am using ver 3.6.3 and when I click the update buttons no updates are found. This is very painful to wait for the start up. Once Firefox has been started all works fine. I am using Windows XP Pro latest service pack.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== not sure just put up with it until now

Extensions can sometimes be the cause of problems. If the problem does not occur in Safe Mode, then you can disable your extensions one-by-one until you find out which one is causing the problem. See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems
