I know you don't like the LinuxMint repo, but, I am currently
running Firefox 20.0 from the LinuxMint deb repo I previously
posted on Wheezy and I have nothing remarkable, good
or bad, to report performance wise with that Firefox package.
The other night I was looking at http://www.tvguide.com/Listings/
and my CPU usage held at 40 %, but I closed the tab and reentered
that website and the CPU usage returned to normal. Usually
about 3 % to 15 % with several tabs open and switching between
tabs. Probably a temp loading problem with that website. Looks
OK then. Probably won't upgrade Firefox on Wheezy for quite some
time then.
FYI

I like to keep the history for long times. I am interested about the backup plugins you mentioned and I wonder if anyone of the like exists to backup history as well?

I usually set bleachbit and Firefox to keep URL history only.
Weird themes and personas can stall performance.
Otherwise, most add-ons don't affect performance
on my machine.
Is that the point ?

Just for the record, I have nothing against Mint's repo. Or Ubuntu's, for that matter. What I have a problem with is how they use sudo. LMDE is Mint's best edition, IMHO.
And, I don't use anyone's Firefox package any more. After discovering how easy it is to get and to run, I run Firefox straight from the horse's mouth. Current version is 21.0, which is what I'm running.

Yes, maybe a temporary loading problem. Or something else. A short story. Before I started using NoScript on every installation of Firefox, I encountered a website linked to from an LXer article. When I loaded the page, both cores of my CPU hit 100% and stayed there. After looking at the page's source, I saw why. They were using my CPU to data mine bitcoins. Without divulging that fact. I called them on it, and the guy said, "Yeah, we're doing that, but we won't do it any more." Hmmm.
Here's the down and dirty: Turn your website into a Bitcoin Miner and Bitcoin Miner for Websites. The ethical thing to do is to inform visitors. But, not everyone is ethical.

There is the History Export addon which backs up history. You may not want that particular one, so go to the addons page, and enter "backup history" or "history backup".
