then start it back up, just to get it going at a decent speed. I'm not asking for advice, just complaining. I've already done all that about:config stuff.

I think it's probably just one of those things you just have to live with. FF is a great program with a ton of functionality. But sometimes, like just about any other program, it gets it's wires crossed and you just have to restart it.

FF works great for me. It doesn't slow down unless I have so many tabs open that it's taking up a substantial chunk of the system memory. (I'm talking 70, 80 or more tabs.)

The best add-on that I've come across is the one that saves your session so you don't lose anything if you have to restart. Absolutely worry free. Even if the power goes out, FF gets me right back in business when it comes back on.
Ah hell. FF has so many great add-ons. But ya know. If any of them are particularly problematic for you, there are usually multiple add-ons that do essentially the same thing. Maybe you can find alternatives. I try not to browse the add-ons too often. As you say, I have a weakness for trying just about anything that looks appealing. I like troubleshooting them to be simple and that just ain't happenin' if you have a ton of add-ons. It's possible to troubleshoot them individually but it will obviously take a long time if you have a lot.
