Optimize FF!! Here's how I've done......

[khattam_]

Firefox 1.0.2 is the latest version of the most popular freeware and open source browser. This is the browser which literally made me away from IE. This browser is not just the best (Opera fans won't agree here but read on), it is the most secure and boldest of all. With extension such as Adblock (which made me stick to FF in spite of the fact that Opera 8 rocks),Tabbrowser Prefs and more, it does not only makes surfing easy, but much more safe and less irritating (when ads are blocked with AdBlock). Following are the ways I've used to tune up FF and make it even faster than it really is.

1. I prefer FF over Opera as it makes Yahoo! Mail Ads-Free and quick (with AdBlock Extension and my version of blocklist available at http://www.geocities.com/cyberdony2k/adblock.zip ). However, Opera may load pages faster, but it downloads all the swf ads and all ad-related iframes which will result even worse.

2. For further optimization of FF, you will need to download "FireTune" FF tuner from the link below

This will help a lot.

3. One of the major problems with FF is its loading and operating speed. This can be quickened by the help of my FF Compressor which can be downloaded at http://www.geocities.com/cyberdony2k/ffcomp.zip
This will really improve the loadtime of FF as it compresses all the EXEs and DLLs.

4. There is another FF speed patcher which is intended to patch FF to improve your surfing speed. It is called "FireFox Patcher" and is available at http://www.geocities.com/cyberdony2k/ffspatch.zip

Any more FF optimizing tips, post here.

Few cents by me.


Add the plugin to display font color toolbar in yahoo and hotmail mails. I am in office so i don't have the url, but search.. and u will get it.

Also use plugin named Stumble-up to kill time.
