What is slowing down Firefox?

Which web browser do you use? If you are a Windows user, you might be using Internet Explorer whereas if you are a Mac user, you are probably using Safari.

Since I make web sites, I need to check those sites I make with various browsers. I usually check with IE, Firefox, Chrome, Opera and Safari.
Up until quite recently, I used to use Firefox as my default browser as it has lots of useful AddOns but now I have chosen Chrome as my default. The reason? FF was very very slow. FF was almost as slow as IE. Now that I use Windows7, sometimes IE is faster than FF.

Mozilla has announced the reason for FF’s slowness. It says it is because of those useful AddOns.

Firefox slow AddOns

Going through the list, I found two that I use all the time. For a web developer, Firebug is a must, and it is No.2! On top of that, ranked at 9 is a very useful bookmark sync AddOn, Xmarks Sync. I guess it would take some time for me to use FF as my default browser.
