Is Your Firefox Running Slow? Make It Fast Without Re-Installation

Problem:
One cannot imagine life without Firefox but some time, your browser sometimes keeps getting slower and slower.
Its not only slow, Firefox sometimes hangs for no reason, It also consumes a large amount of memory and CPU usage that can climb upto 90% or more than that,when you have multiple tabs open simultaneously.
You must have uninstalled most of the extensions and toolbars,must have deleted all the cookies and cleared up the file download queue, also deleted internet temporary files, and disabled the background check for software updates - but none of this helped you speed-up your Firefox.

Solution:
This is common problem all the time, especially if you have been running Firefox for some time - I do not know why Firefox becomes slow but here is a way to come out of this problem without doing a fresh install.

1. Open Firefox and export your bookmarks as a file on your hard-drive (we'll require later).

2.In the box it should be "c:\program files\mozilla firefox\firefox.exe" -p (if you dont find please type it) and then click ok button.

3.Now click on create profile button and can start your firefox and no need to worry about old date because that will automatically will get transferred in your new profiled firefox and now you can really enjoy the real speed of the firefox.

And if you the old profile, just type Firefox -P again and click the old profile. No data is lost
