Thanks for the advice! I will try that as soon as I get home tonight. My Firefox at home has also been getting very sluggish.
I have often wondered, while waiting for a page to load, if there are scripts or Java apps running in the background, chewing lots of CPU time even after the webpage they came from has been close or left behind. Is there any way to see what external apps, scritps, plugins, add ons are currently being run by Firefox, what fraction of Firefox's process time they are using up, and/or some way to stop them short of reboot? I know that this may just mean yet another plugin, but at least it would give me some peace of mind that the slowness was not something I could control if I only knew the right commands or had the right plugin.
