I've switched to the ESR version of Firefox on most of my machines. It has some essential security updates that you don't get staying with an old mainstream version, but not the extra "features". That said, the biggest problem I've seen at lately is google's scripts have gotten more aggressive lately and are bogging things down (perhaps deliberately so they can claim Chrome is faster?). Blocking them in NoScript (and only temporarily enabling when absolutely necessary) has helped a lot.
