Re: Firefox is so slow ...
No problem with firefox in i686, have some plugins including flash plugins.
Why not use flash plugin from Arch repo instead from adobe ? and check wiki for some further tips

Firefox is plenty fast here using 64-bit, but I don't run flash.

I have noticed some poor GTK performance in general lately, do you experience slowness with other programs besides Firefox?

Re: Firefox is so slow ...
I have same problem, but only appear when i'm open https, switch between tab is taking some couple second, but working fine with http. And the other problem is, sometimes firefox not quit very well, stay on memory and consume CPU 100%, until i kill it manualy.
Maybe graphic card driver issue? via chrome9 with openchrome 
Btw im on Arch 64

So I use google chrome instead, it works well even flash
