919220 - Firefox has a very very slow start up time in Mac OS X Mountain Lion

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

Description

[Brian]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.8; rv:23.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/23.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20130814063812

Steps to reproduce:

I just select the Firefox web browser to open up the internet and it takes a long time just to load


Actual results:

Browser takes about a minute before  the web page section appears white and takes another while just to load.


Expected results:

Firefox should have opened and loaded the home page in about 10 seconds like it used to when I had Mac OS X Lion.
