If you find that Firefox is a memory hog, chances are you have an extension that isn't playing nicely with it, or your profile has become corrupted... or a combination of the two.

A fresh install will work wonders and then begin adding extensions one at a time to make sure you can monitor their performance.

If you have to, use xmarks or simply copy your bookmarks.html files to ensure you keep information you need from one installation to the next. Fresh installs take very little time and upgrading from 2 to 3 to 3.5 and then complaining about the speed is silly. That's like going from win98 to winxp to windows 7 and wondering why it's having issues.
