Firefox 13 very slow compared to IE or Chrome despite Fastestfox
Firefox is very slow compared to IE 8 or Google Chrome despite Fastestfox plugin and the server connection is interrupted all the time when I try to load sites, and I have to re-load again and again (this also happens wehn I clicked on HELP)... I also could not restart in safemode as I didn't find it... Please help, as I would like to use Firefox...

hello, those speed tuning addons often do more harm than good, can you please reset that extension to the firefox default settings & remove it afterwards. i also couldn't find any reference to "stealthy privacy choice", so i don't know what functionality this addon might have or if it is interfering in the process of pages loading...
in case this does not help, please try resetting firefox (your bookmarks & passwords will be kept): Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings
A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

I noticed firefox 13.0.1 is very slow after gradual use. Even my computer is slowing down when using it.. All this nonsense about the addon or extension seems like Bull...
Im thinking of using version 3.6.28 which was wayyyy faster. Mozilla need to make more quality products.
I recommend either going back to Internet Explorer or using Firefox 3.6.28, i really hope mozilla's next browser ver 14 is way faster...
