Kick FireFox Up a Notch

Posted in Geek by breddy on December 3rd, 2004

Brian Livingston has published a great article on WindowsSecrets.com outlining some really great tweaks to the already joyous FireFox browser.

My biggest gripe about the product has been the long (relative to IE) load times. I incorrectly attributed this to the fact that IE is part and parcel of Windows. This may be part of the reason IE loads super quick, but another reason is that it is prefetched. Turns out you can set any program to prefetch, including FireFox. For me, it made a noticeable difference. Thanks, Brian!
