MAC OS 10.6.8 Firefox 6.0.2 Any new window opening takes over a minute to happen. Once open all is fine. New tabs open immediately. Only on new windows is there this delay. This only happens on FF, not on Sarari, Chrome, Opera. - stevehorn@websentia.us
Opening FF for the first time and when any additional, new window is opened, it takes over 60 seconds for the window to appear. This happens after reboot and repair permissions in Disc Utilities on reboot (from installation disc). Once window appears, all works fine. New tabs appear instantly. New, added windows still take the 60+ seconds to appear even with current window remaining open. No other browsers or applications behave this way.

Thanks, Safe Mode fixes. So I disabled all Add-Ons and re-enabled, one at a time, finding that the combination of Firebug 1.8.2 and Illuminations for Developers 1.1.9 running together seem to cause the problem. However, neither of these nor Firefox were updated recently, so I can't blame any of the above as the culprit. However, I can choose to diable either Add-On so that Firefox starts up quickly.
Thanks again.
Not sure if this is exactly the same as the other reported problems. But creating a new (via command N or via menu selection) window creates a long thin nearly zero width but full height window. Selecting the window via the window menu and zooming brings it up at full size.
I tried turning off all add-ons and things seemed to work but then stopped working again (sorry can't find a consistent set of symptoms here).
