Uninstalling an add-on or extension from your Firefox browser may not always remove its remnants (settings and preferences) from Firefox database. Add-ons store its preferences in Firefox’s SQLite database and these leftovers increase its size, consequently slows down Firefox start-up.

Here is a Firefox extension called eCleaner, which helps you get rid of leftover entries of uninstalled Firefox extensions and speed-up your Firefox start-up.
