Hi All

I emailed the writer of prefbar as per Adam Trickett's suggestion. And
this is the reply Ive just had.
Hi,

[PrefBar slows down Firefox]
> Any ideas please ?


This is a known problem:

Please also see the links in my last comment.

Noone knows why this slowdown exists.
Maybe the difference is that Iceweasel is compiled from source against the libraries you have in your system while the official firefox binary is compiled agains "some" libraries but most probably not the version you have on your system. Possible solution: compile Firefox from source. But don't ask me how, I'm no Firefox developer and I only compile SeaMonkey from source from time to time.
