If you find this speeds things up then you can gradually turn on a few add-ons at a time (and only the ones you really need). It is possible a particular add-on is causing the slowness. If this is the case and you want to keep it then you could just turn it on as needed.

I agree with ardeegee that the cpu is running quite high.
That wouldn't have helped in this case. CPU usage was normal.

But I have seen this before; Mcafee makes a Firefox add-on called Site Advisor, and even when it was just sitting in the background my CPU was at 100%. I deleted Site Advisor a long time ago.
