Firefox under Linux is slowing down during usage

I recognized a slowdown of Firefox during surfing. After a programme restart all was fine again but slowdown occurred again. This is what I did to resolve the problem.
  • Inactivation of all addons not in much use
  • Inactivation of all greasmonkey scripts not in much use
  • Changing preferences of "Link Alert": inactive status for links and images
  • Changing Firefox settings in "about:config":
    • extensions.s3downbar.function.useAnimation;false (this can also be changed through the preference page of Download Manager (S3))
    • browser.tabs.animate;false
    • browser.fullscreen.animate;false
    • browser.download.animateNotifications;false
    • toolkit.scrollbox.smoothScroll;false
    • extensions.treestyletab.tabbar.scroll.smooth;false
