> If it was you, you can always go back to an earlier post and Edit it.

I believe I can only edit my last post, so it’s too late to change that older one, now. (But yes, that post was mine.)

>Did you restart Firefox each and every time that you re-enabled an Extension ?
This is absolutely necessary.

Yes, I did this.

> when you enable each extension one by one, there will hopefully be one extension that will suddenly cause your slow behaviour in Fast Dial.

Unfortunately, this didn’t show me which add-on was the conflict. I turned them all back on, one by one, and by the end Fast Dial was still working fine.

However, since then (several days ago) I have noticed that Fast Dial is always slow again after a PC restart. It also slows down after I have left my browser for a while and come back to it.

All the icons appear one by one (taking about half a second each) and while they are generating, I can’t click on a bookmark — and I can’t even click on any of the Fast Dial thumbnails!

> Top suspect is Firebug so I would try enabling that first if you are running it.

I’m not a Web developer, so I have no need for Firebug! :D

> It would be interesting to know what Extensions you are running.

I use the following:

Adblock Plus
All-in-One Sidebar
Autohide
BatchDownload
Dictionary Tooltip
DownThemAll!
EZNav
Fast Dial
Fission
Flagfox
Google Toolbar for Firefox
GooglePreview
ImageZoom
Locationbar²
MileWideBack
NoScript
Personal Menu
Tab Mix plus
Thumbs
Tree Style Tab

> If you can find the time to work through your extensions one by one and manage to find the Extension that is causing this slowness then this will be an extremely valuable discovery.

When I get the chance, I will really try and find out. As I have 21 add-ons, it will take me probably 4 or 5 computer restarts to locate the incompatible add-on, which will take ages. But I will try it some time soon.

> If you do discover the culprit, please do not delete the Extension immediately as it might prove important to know exactly which Build Version it is.

OK. Will do!

I have DownThemAll and AdBlockPlus along with Fast Dial 2.10 and I timed my fast Dial Loading time, and it's under a second.

I have 5x3 cells with one of them empty, and no folders. I am running Windows Vista Home Premium, and have a dual core and 2046MB of RAM.

Would you mind telling us a little about your computer?

Sloooooww in FF3
by shrimpwagon on September 2, 2008
Something happened with Fast Dial in FF 3. It was just fine with FF 2. Then I upgraded to FF 3 and now it loads the images very slowly. It is not refresh the images that is making it slow. It is just displaying the because the images that are being used are old. I don't have many addons and the ones I do have I seriously doubt are messing it up. Seems like a few other people are having the same problem. I really like Fast Dial but this needs to be fixed. I am running the current addons:

Too slow....

Great idea, but currently takes 30 seconds+ to load up on my machine, interferes with other tabs loading, etc. I have a very fast machine, but this add-on makes firefox unusable for me on Ubuntu 8.04.

But then you have this:
Firefox Loading extremely Slow w/o any Extensions
It is a long post (10 pages) but interesting.
There are a number of tips. You may find something useful.

There seem to be many people all asking similar sorts of questions.
