Firefox 29 Sucks: Slow and Unreliable

I am totally annoyed with the new FF version. FF 29 is way too slow and it is unreliable. I don't have a powerplant, but until the last update everything was ok, yet now it massively sucks.

The most important error is that the browser becomes unresponsible for a couple of seconds. After clicking (or CTRL+clicking) a link, for 2-3 sec, the browser does nothing, no clicks, no shortkeys (CTRL+L, CTRL+W), no paging (Page Down), no tab switching have effect. For a couple of seconds, FF looses all input. It is especially annoying during a page load when I start typing a text: half of the typed characters are forgotten. I can be tolerant for a slow application, but this unreliable behaviour is unacceptable.

Do you have any idea how to solve this? I'd rather use IE than this FF.
