You may also try cleaning out these folders:

C:\Documents and Settings\*user*\Local Settings\History
C:\Documents and Settings\*user*\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files
C:\Documents and Settings\*user*\My Recent Documents
C:\Documents and Settings\*user*\Temp\

On Vista or Windows 7 systems, simply replace "Documents and Settings" with "Users."

See: Lefehacker - Speed Up Slow Firefox 3.5 Windows Start-Ups

That's definitely the reason for the startup problems. I was scrolling through this thread hoping someone would have posted that link earlier 'cause everyone was suggesting things like making new profiles and disabling addons which had nothing to do with it.

RaceProUK: If you read the post linked to, you'll see that it's using temporary files to generate random numbers for the security-related functions in the browser. Very stupid idea, yes.
I know: it was on Slashdot :P
