mcbpete Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 For me the speed of browsing using Firefox isn't the problem it's the first load time after booting windows - It takes almost a minute on my machine wheras Chrome takes about 5 seconds (although I think it cheats a bit as doesn't it run as a background process when you load up Windows ?)

Guest inteeliguntdesign Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 the long load up time is because ff in windows uses the temp folder to get its random numbers. if your temp dir is huge, it takes ages to load up. fuck knows why they don't fix it. you can fix the problem by just deleting your temp files. see here http://mozillalinks....ups-on-windows/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Adjective Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 1. Uninstall Firefox 2. Install Chrome 3. Viola i actually just had to switch from chrome because i was getting these weird "unavailable" errors, only with chrome. i looked up in some google discussion thread about people with the same problem and google didn't seem to know what it was. it was awesome until that started happening. will probably check back after a few builds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joyrex Posted September 10, 2009 Author Share Posted September 10, 2009 No, Chrome doesn't load any background processes - it's just faster, non-bloated code. i put this up about 2 years ago, and you (joyrex) had a go at me because it rapes ppl websites with max request sent thing. apparently. bitter, aren't we? Seriously, I wasn't 'having a go at you', but just pointing out the consequences of having that feature enabled. I think websites are smarter these days too, with "nofollow" links so things like that don't pull more than they need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ego Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 2 more speed tweaks: Flash playback stuttering or general browser hickups may be caused by session store. Session store keeps your current session for later recovery. You can disable it in about:config (browser.sessionstore.enabled) or increase the interval it stores the current session (browser.sessionstore.interval). This may help you. Vacuum Places "This extension allows you to defragment (vacuum) the Places database, used by FireFox. Vacuum'ing can significantly reduce loading time of the browser and speed it up." https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/13824 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
