Tell us more about your PC, what are the specs? Has Ubuntu always been slow, or only recently??

Facebook has been having major problems recently with loading for many people. I'd suggest doing a reboot and seeing if that helps at all. If it doesn't you and you don't mind losing any firefox data you can purge/re-install firefox which might help.


sudo apt-get purge firefox
sudo apt-get install firefox

You can always backup your /home/username/.firefox folder if you want to restore your firefox settings.
