Avira 2014 - Scans slows Firefox to crawl
Avira 2014 Free - Scans slows Firefox to crawl on XP/Pro SP3.
NOTE: Comodo IceDragon 26.0 does slow some, but not as bad as Firefox 26.0.
I like Avira because it's well behaved and not running all over the net w/ no browser open like Avast did. Note: it does not appear to be avast updates either... I'm bug free so that's not it...
I only have Avira installed without the stupid toolbar!

I recommend this add-on; just remember to turn it off with Avira Scans 8)

Is Avira scanning files in the Firefox profile folder or otherwise keeping a lock on files in the Firefox profile folder or the Firefox program folder?
Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.
NOTE: I'm advanced user - Safe Mode Scans are faster, but it's a necessary hassle at times.
