firefox

I am using Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2008 Express.
I've made an ASP.NET MVC site which has 6 CSS files and 6 Javascript files in the HEAD element in the Site.Master file.
When I do F5 or CTRL-F5 in Explorer or Opera, the site displays instantly.
When I run my site in Firefox, it takes a SECOND for each CSS and each Javascript file on LOCALHOST, i.e. 12 seconds to load on localhost.

What might I be able to change in the Firefox settings so it is as fast as Opera and Explorer?

NEW INFO: Uninstalled Firebug completely, no yslow, no other add-ons. When I take out the CSS and Javascript files, then Firefox is as fast as the other browsers. What could be taking it so long on a local connection?
