How many bookmarks do you have? Are they in folders? I just switched over from Safari 3.2.1 to Firefox 3.0.7 because Safari would continually crash. I'm pretty lazy about my thousands of bookmarks, and I notice Firefox is far slower to open them. One other thing that slows it way down is all the little bookmark icons, whatever they are called. Loading those slows it down too, maybe there is a corrupted one? On a PC, you're supposed to export your bookmarks and settings and create a new profile. This often solves problems in Windoze Firefox, I'm not sure if it applies to Mac Firefox.
