After doing a Firefox upgrade or install, I always crank up Firefox as root and
delete all of the languages (and the dom-inspector thing). Firefox runs much
faster after that.
It's never been clear to me if I could accomplish the same thing by simply
deleting the language files directly instead of going through the Firefox
"really delete this?" stuff.
Yes, you can delete the languages directly. I normally do it after
an upgrade, but before firing it up as root. You can find the
directories containing the different languages in
/usr/lib/firefox-<version>/extensions.
