Just for clarity, are you on Firefox 3.6 and 10.04? One of the bugs you
linked to was an 11.04 bug.

I've had several problems with blocked sites slowing things down.  If I
block "facebook" on the router for instance (which I'd prefer to do), just
about everything that uses Facebook Connect grinds basically to a halt.
 This is the case in Chrome, Chromium and Firefox.

If you aren't wedded to extensions, I'd highly recommend Chrome or Chromium.
 FootieFox and Tree Style Tabs are too much with which to part for me!
