home content slow to appear after starting Firefox
the home content tab where "Top Sites" and "Highlights" appear, that part when i start Firefox has become slow to appear. first a loading icon would appear then seconds later the home content. at home, how i "fixed" this is to reset Firefox but at the office i do not want to reset as i'll loose many cookies/settings/etc.,
has anyone got a fix for this without resetting Firefox?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

yes problem still there even in safe mode. only if i reset Firefox does it go away but then it comes back after a few days. happens in both computers i use.
Start your Computer in safe mode with network support. Then start Firefox. Try Secure websites. Is the problem still there?
