Moderators rridgely Posted May 1, 2005 Moderators Share Posted May 1, 2005 I have been watching firefox since it started, but I was never really impressed by it. It loaded to slow, streamed video and audio minutes later when IE only took seconds(with a cable modem), and took forever to open. I know its more secure but with all of the hassle I chose to just remove the malware as I got it. I did use the mozzilla suite because it seemed a little better but not anymore! Now that firefox is useable what do you all know to do to make it better (do you reccommend any plugins or tweaks?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nod32 Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 This looks pretty cool. I havent tried it yet, but im planning on installing it later today. For those who don't want to click the link, their ''optimized'' firefox/mozilla/thunderbird builds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators rridgely Posted May 1, 2005 Author Moderators Share Posted May 1, 2005 Nod32 I looked at your link tell me what you think or if you have any errors. If you think its good I might try it as well. Tarun let us know when you get the firefox tweaks back on your webpage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nod32 Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 Just tested it, and not impressed. The installation is tricky, to say the least. Even though I followed all the instructions, it would not read my profile, so I ended up doing system restore. And then Firefox would not start. Ended up re-installing the official Firefox build, but at least it read my original profile. For the few minutes that it actually did work, it did not speed up surfing noticeably. Mabey by a few fractions of a second [edit] Found this thread, with lots and lots of Firefox tweaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This fixed my last complaint with firefox (slowstart up), now firefox starts right up. Is running this a big resourse hog? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjLizard Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 The preloaded 'fox is as large as [or a tad larger than] one regular instance of Firefox, which is roughly the equivalent of one Internet Explorer instance (when de-integrated from the OS, that is). When more instances of Firefox are launched, the code is shared, and each subsequent instance's resource usage is very minimal.
