Firefox lagging all of a sudden!

[sCream]

Hey i was just wondering if anyone else is having the same problem??

All of a sudden, when i open firefox for the first time, it takes like 5 seconds before it even begins to try loading anything.. as in, nothing shows up on the status bar, not even like loading or anything. But then when it starts to load, it loads the page really quick like it used to. Obviously this is not crucial to the functioning of the browser, but its super annoying!!

Anyone else having this problem? Or know how to fix this?
I tried scanning the computer for viruses (AVG free), and spyware (Ad-aware) and came up with nothing.

Actually i figured it out! Create a new profile.
So close firefox (make sure its closed), then Start->Run, then type firefox.exe -p
Then make a new profile, and it worked!
