Some Firefox Add-Ons Cripple Sites

Are some sites (facebook, gmail) VERY slow when you visit them with Firefox? Try disabling some of your add-ons (Tools -> Options -> Manage Add-Ons).

After reading a few posts on other forums, it looked like disabling certain add-ons freed up their Firefox. For me, it was the Skype extension for Firefox. This add-on would put Skype availability icons next to names on web pages it recognized as Skype contacts. As soon as I disabled it, Firefox was back to normal.
