Firefox 19 suddenly became very slow after using it for about an hour.
I've been using firefox 19 since it came out and have experienced no problems. Now today after about an hour of using the browser it has become so slow to the point where it becomes unresponsive for about ten seconds when I try to switch to a different tab. What is strange is that when I run firefox in safe mode, its fine, but I haven't downloaded any addons for a few weeks. Any help would be appreciated.

- Remove your Unwanted Extensions
- updated your plugins

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.
Thanks for the help guys! I didn't think it was an extension because it had been a while since I downloaded one, but the culprit turned out to be TabGroups Manager. Glad I have firefox back, I was scared I'd have to get used to Chrome!
