Why Fx 28 is pretty darn slow very recently compared to IE10 and Crome33?

I use Fx from eight last year and it has never been slow. But now I am experiencing Fx 28 (updated almost a month back) to be pretty slow since last week. I am using Windows 7 32 bit, 2 GB RAM (250 GB HDD) computer. Other web browser like IE10 and Chrome 33 are uber fast to search the Web while Fx 28 maintains loading of web pages forever (I tried mozila.org, google.com, yahoo.com , etc.). To counter this problem, I have 'disabled' or 'request to activate' all plug-ins (such as Shockwave Flash and Shockwave for Director, JAVA etc.) but it did not help iota of this problem. I scanned my computer with Malware-bytes and good suite AV did not show anything unusual with the system. I have searched the Mozilla support forum and tried other options as well as clearing web cache, use hardware acceleration (check and uncheck), using Fx in safemode, private mode etc and nothing worked. I don't want to switch to another browser just like that so would solve this problem as soon as POSSIBLE.

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions in due course.

I reinstalled Fx and unchecked option "enable firfox health report" on the tab "data selection". I don't know what happened but now it does not work (although slow). May be some add-on screwed by updating Fx last time. But I don't know why it took nearly a month to have consequences on Fx.

Still, I would love to have a quick and light Fx on my system that I got a month back.
