I just updated my Firefox to 9.0.1 a few days ago, and ever since I updated, Firefox has become EXTREMELY slow and lagged.

You click on the icon in the taskbar, and you see part of a window open, but you have to right click on the desktop for Firefox to open, because it won't open unless you do something. Or, you could click on the icon a few times, then wait and watch the window jump up and down from the delay.

Even when it finally opens the window, it's very slow and it freezes when it's trying to load the simplest things.
