I have exact sample slowness problem. It takes at least over 15 seconds for Firefox to open. The blue circle just turning and (NOT RESPONING) in the Firefox title bar.

After closing Firefox, I cannot re-start any Firefox for next 30 seconds (just responsed previous Firefox not closed dialog box).

I have only one enabled add-on and no other plug-in.

My system Windows 7 Ultimate, 64 bits systems. Add-on enabled Shockwave Flash 11.01.152 Firefox 7.0.1 installed 10/21/2011

System hardware: Intel DualCore 3.06GHz, Memory 2GB. Harddrive 1.5TB (90% unused)

On my computer, Chrome is the fastest (almost immediate), Opera takes around 5 to 7 seconds, Internet Explorer 9 takes at least 10 to 12 seconds. So, Firefox used to be the fastest and now the slowest.
