Default Slow FireFox?

My FireFox has been slow lately, with loading web pages and stuff.

In Photobucket, half my collection loads, but in IE it loads fast.


I am using FasterFox, and I cleared my Private Data, which includes Cookies and Cache.



Thanks.

Fasterfox actually is bad for FF!! Dont use it!! Make sure you keep the addons to a min!! Also download CCleaner and clear out everything! Update router firmware too

Because it changes firefox's registry and most of the times is changed too much and causes more harm than help. Fasterfox is actually meant for people with cable also! Changing the registry yourself would be way better!!
