Reduce the load time of Firefox!
We all love Firefox and one of the reason for that is that it allows us to install various useful add-ons. However, those add-ons make Firefox a lot slower. I’ve got like 10 – 12 add-ons installed for Firefox and it almost takes 20 sec. to come up, when I try to load it at the first time of the day.
Just at the time, I was getting frustrated of all this, I came across Firefox preloader. It’s a small utility which pre-loads the Firefox and opens it in a breeze. I didn’t have to wait at all. So, if you are also fed up of waiting for Firefox to load, then you got to install Firefox Preloader and why not use it, when it’s for free!
Apart from that, Mozilla has recently released the new version of Firefox. It’s now stands at version 2.0.0.12. Here are the list of changes which have been made in this release.

I’ve also found out that if we keep firefox running continuously for more time, the tabs doesn’t respond on mouse clicks. It only responds for a +. This is very annoying when you keep multiple tabs open while you are on the search for something. I don’t know if you have ever faced such an issue. If at all you have faced any such issue and if you have come across with some solution just let me know. :)

In the previous post, please check the following line which has been entered wrongly.
“It only responds to a Ctrl+Tab.” :(

Yea, I am using this utility as well. It’s really worth trying.

Same happens with me also. It’s a common problem if you have machine with less RAM. I just restart my firefox and it settles down everything. Of course, I have set my firefox to remember pages and tabs after every start.
