i hope not too, though it seems to me (may just be me), that the last couple of versions are a little slower. Addblock Plus is a must have, and DownloadHelper is great for youtube.

I use those add-ons as well, along with WOT, Better Privacy and No Script.

And yes, Firefox has got a little slower because it checks for updates for itself as well as it's add-ons before it starts up. In fact, the more add-ons you have the slower the start-up, plus FF is a little power hungry so your PC has got to have a bit more push to get it going.

Even so, I believe that FF is currently the best browser, for facilities and safety features, that you can install on your PC.

However, I do wish that there was a simple method to control the number of "toolbars" that appeared whenever FF starts up, at the moment I have to untick two of the six toolbars that appear when I use FF.

PS. FF has just notified me that there is an update available for "No Script".
