Re: faster firefox
Those tweeks for FireFox have been about for ages, I tried them a while ago and i couldnt see much difference to be honest.
I downloaded Google Chrome today and that is a lot quicker. I quite like it. I want to use it for all the web apps I use at work so will give it a proper go through tomorrow.

Re: faster firefox
First thing I do on a new install of Firefox. Very good tweaks - with these tweaks, Firefox is faster than Chrome or Safari

Re: faster firefox
Does Chrome come with all the other sh!te from Google though?
MY step Dad got my Mum a new laptop for her birthday (today) because she's always wanted one. It came pre-installed with Google Desktop sh!te, Google Toolbar on IE, and all sorts of other crap she doesn't need. I'll be un-installing all of it later on and downloading the new FireFox for her as opposed to IE.
I liked Firefox alot, when it worked. It didn't look too different, and it didnt feel too different either. Always been a fan though and I know I'll end up downloading the latest version and re-installing.

Are you running the installer in compatibility mode?

Re: faster firefox
Just downloaded Chrome to try and on first impressions it does seem vastly quicker than Firefox or IE.

You can right click on any .exe and change the properties to run in compatability mode for any OS.... Good Luck
