Since the installation of Firefox 10.0.1 links on websites or internal bookmarks are sluggish or don't work at all. If I copy the site address from the address bar, then highlight and "paste and go" it acts immediately, otherwise it just spins it's wheels. Re-loading does not help at all. While it's a nuisance, I do believe it should perform better

Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.

"Clear the Cache":

  • Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"

"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:

  • Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

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

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
