I do run a lot of extensions. Some of them are quite handy but I will clean house and disable a bunch of them and see if that speeds things up. My Firefox has gotten a bit slow again. Mainly since I installedFirebug, now that I think of it. I still find the venerable Web Developer nore useful as developers extension. Perhaps I just am more used to the Web Developer toolset.

For every window that opens, all extensions are scanned and/or started causing alot of I/O operations that slow down opening of popup-windows.
I run only Firebug and two other developer extensions, and I still think Firefox takes time opening windows (all this on WinXP).
