and is there any way 2 make firefox 2 faster???

Of course there is. Find the extension (or add-on) called Fasterfox and select turbo charged. I used to do these stuff manually using online guides, but now since this extension is there, it has made things easier.

Don't harass poor Novindu. :D

Yesterday I tested Firefox 2.0 and Opera 9.0.2 website loading speed. I loaded a website (www.alienware.com) which wasn't loaded ever before in Firefox (to eliminate the effects of caching). With the tweaks, Firefox loaded the page 2 seconds faster than Opera. Enough said.

There are two things I hate in Firefox though. Slow startup times and dropping into a never ending loop every now and then. When the latter happens, there is nothing I can do, but open up task manager and kill Firefox. That bug has been there since 1.0 days, and still those people haven't found a way to correct it :( One day both Firefox and Thunderbird together crapped up my CPU; one CPU core for each LOL.

The best thing in Firefox that none of the other browsers have (except Mozilla web browser) is extensions. Not only I have tweaked the Firefox's internal settings, but those extensions add a lot of value. I have an extension called Flashblock, which blocks individual flash animations from loading (remember, from LOADING, not from SHOWING). This saves bandwidth. Also I have an extension called adblock where it stops ads or anything blockable. We can specify what to block. This also helps the page loading times a great deal.

    I believe the best way to find that out is by trying that out. All I know is that my Firefox is faster than Opera and Internet Explorer.

    Of course I know it's cool. You don't have to tell me that :D

    I'm not 100% sure, but it might increase Firefox's RAM usage. I have always had it installed so I don't know if it actually consumes more RAM.
