Kill FF and bring down your network interface. Start FF and it will try 
to connect to all those sites but it can't so FF will work in "offline" 
mode. Uninstall Firebug, bring up your network interface, and 
selectively refresh the browser tabs until you find which one breaks the 
camel's back. (Talk about mixed metaphors.)

You could also disable Firebug and enable it selectively for when you 
need it, as I do. Firebug is the number one reason I use Firefox. 
Without it, web development would be much more difficult. The Net tab, 
as David CB pointed out, is useful.

By the way, I've noticed sites using eyereturn.com are often terribly 
slow. Perhaps a solution is to set eyereturn.com to 127.0.0.1 in your 
hosts file. :)
