That would help explain it. I've learned patience when it comes to Firefox.

There must be something else going on. I get the browser window in a
second or so every time. I wonder if there is some spyware program
that is loading too. Look at your plug ins

Here they a

Adobe Acrobat
McAfee Site Advisor
Quick Time
Shockwave Flash
Silverlight
Windows Presentation Foundation

The only addons I see is Logitech Device Detection and my virus
scanner.

I am no expert but based on previous experience, if I were John I'd dump
McAfee and substitute it with AVG.

I used to have McAfee as a anti-virus program but it slowed the computer
I had at the time down. Not as bad as Norton, but still consumed a lot
of resources. I've been using AVG now for over four years and like it
a lot. Doesn't seem to affect the computer speed and works just fine.

I don't use McAfee as an anti-virus program. The site advisor is a separate plug-in.

It's still a McAfee program running in the background checking the
websites you visit to see if there's a record of malware, viruses, etc.

I had it. I got rid of it and my computer ran much faster and smoother.
As Greg said, McAfee is a virus unto itself, much like Norton used to be.

It was on the XP laptop that I have but no longer use, BTW. Someone
recommended AVG and I've used it ever since. The only time it has an
affect on computer speed is when you have initiated a full scan of your
computer. What's nice about it however is that you can set a priority
from "user sensitive" which allows you to continue to use the computer
for other things while it scans with little to no affect on computer
speed to "Fast" which is good if you are not going to use the computer
for a while.

I used the free version for two years and liked it so much that I
upgraded to the full version. Frankly, I think the free version was
sufficient for protection. AVG will also block or alert you to a
suspicious website also, like McAfee. It just doesn't bog your computer
down doing so.
