Do you have live bookmarks? Although afaik they don't load 2 seconds after startup but some seconds later.

Which specific action shows that Firefox doesn't respond?

Comment 2

yes, i have live bookmarks, although i deleted them and the result is the same.

Firefox does not respond to any action and CPU reaches 50% (although on startup it's only ~30%)

To exclude bugs in extensions and profile corruptions, can you retest in safe-mode, otherwise with a fresh profile?

This bug has had the CLOSEME tag for several weeks and the date in the tag is
far gone. If the reporter can still see this issue, Please retest with Firefox
3.6.x or later and a new profile
(http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles). Then please remove the
closeme tag in the whiteboard, mark the bug against the proper version and
comment on the bug.
