I had Lubuntu LXDE in a celeron M processor with a memory stick the

add ons might also slow Firefox down considerably, expecially ones
that open with Firefox and immediately do something like ForecastFox.
Lubuntu has Chromium as the default browser because they perceived of
it as faster than Firefox.
The add-ons I suggested improve the performance and memory consumption
of Firefox but it's true that some add-ons can slow down firefox. I have
seen Chromium render sites a little faster then firefox but I have seen
chromium and chrome consume a lot more memory then firefox. Using
Firefox for its lower memory consumption and seeing some javascript
heavy sites render on the screen slighly slower is not a bad trade off.
