Very slow to open new window

How to fix very slow opening window. I have vista 64. Since the last foxfire update it is very slow to open new windows. It can take some windows opening over a minute to open. (yes minutes not seconds) Once a window is open I can open in new tab with no problem, but not with new window. (I like to have many windows open at a time) When l click to open a new window either from a link or new window, it seems that nothing is happening. Then clicking to open another one which seems to open faster. Then all of a sudden the first window decides to open after about a minute or so. Sometime it seems to hang longer than other times.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

I did try the safe mode and didn't work. I did make iexplorer my default and then back again to foxfire and it somewhat worked. It was work not bad (but not as good as before) until I rebooted and it seemed the more I used it the better it became. Go figure :) Well I just did another firefox update to 4 and it works perfect and maybe even better than before. (or I got use to how slow it was :) ) Thank You for you quick reply and I'm very happy for the new update... So far so good.

I forgot to say I did a restore and that didn't help either before the 3.6.xx update. The new 4 foxfire update is working great for me so far. Thanks again
