   Have you tried to run it in safe mode?

The command is firefox -safe-mode

This will work if you have installed some Firefox extensions. I have noticed the same delayed response sometimes. It's as if there's some kind of hidden struggle in the background. Normally, I clean it after browsing via the tools menu, and Privacy. Have a look at the following site for uninstalling:

In may case, I prefer Firefox version 1.0.4 because it's compatible with Firevox and Fangs screen reader emulator. It has a JawsAssit menu when voice extensions are installed, but it doesn't work with Jaws itself. It works with SAPI 5 as well as NeoSpeech, which is wonderful. Plus, it helps debug rebellious or unaccessible web pages by providing a detailed description of what a good screen reader should normally say when it functions properly.

Hi,
The other day Firefox started to open very slowly, taking two or three minutes. I have done all the normal things... virus scan, ad ware scan, defrag and so on. Firefox 1.5 beta 2 will not uninstall. If anyone has any ideas I'm open to suggestion. I am running Jaws 7.0, Firefox 1.5 beta 2, and Windows XP Media Center.
