I will say that even with +130 tabs open on my old over loaded machine,
FF works well. Much better with NoScript thought. I say over loaded
because the loads are usually in the 1.7 to 2.5 range.
I suspect that you have a configuration file corruption issue.
Try creating a new account and see how it works.
Try running FF from the command line and see if there are any messages.
