Firebug does not cause this by itself. As a test I suggest you create a new Firefox profile. That will give you a "factory default" user experience for Firefox. If that works well, then add Firebug. Then you can understand if Firebug is the problem. See http://getfirebug.com/wiki/index.php/FAQ. > > Disabling several extensions in FF seems to have speeded things a > little.

I If the Firebug icon is orange, then Firebug will slow down every page that has javascript, has errors, or uses AJAX. If the Firebug icon is gray, things will be better. In Firebug 1.5, a gray icon will be close to stock Firefox. For sure it won't cause problems like you describe. > only need FB on one window, some of the time, and I don't want to have > to disable and re-enable the FB extension and restart FF every time I > have to use it. Another option used by professional developers is to open a second copy of Firefox exclusively for Firebug work. You can do this by running Firefox from the command line with option "-no-remote". jjb > > If FB is definitely not causing FF slowdown by being available on > every page, then fair enough.
