Recently I googled a way to speed it up so I could speed up firefox at my job.

I found this little gem.

Speed Up Firefox web browser | Ubuntu Geek (http://www.ubuntugeek.com/speed-up-firefox-web-browser.html)

It actually fixes Firefox's annoying memory leak problem as well.

The article says it can speed it up like 3-30x but anything faster is better than nothing...

LEMME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!

There was a thread created about 6 years ago about a way to speed up Firefox.

Here's the link (for shits and giggles):

I may have made their internet faster.

I can't do anything about the mind.

Sorry guys.

upgrade to google

Some sites still haven't fully supported it, as well as Chrome is still buggy.

Matter of fact, I don't even know why I still use chrome other than to say I'm using a Google browser. It isn't offering me any benefits.

Haha VERY slightly only because it seems a little bit "smoother" but when you can't get shit to work right on it, not to mention I HATE the way it saves passwords.

I'll go back to FF.

I still use Chrome at work love "incognito"

I like the password saving thing. Incognito is awesome. For me GC works with 85% of the web and FF 84.65.

I did a test and GC opens up and displays the webpage a little bit faster than FF.
