Man, it would be really ironic if after years making fun of Windows because it needs defragmenting to run faster, it turns out you have to defragment Firefox to keep Linux fast...

And, but do take this with a huge grain of salt, since I'm really tired right now, I just restarted Firefox (I had done killall firefox right before doing this trick), and I also _want_ to see some improvement... it does seem to run faster, at least for now. Later, and thanks again.
