Firefox

Hi all,

Why Firefox takes longer to load then IE? Is there anyway to configure to make it load faster?

Thank you
Thepoor

Uninstall any unnecssary plugins - if you have any installed. A bunch of plugins that have to be loaded will certainly slow things down.

Here's a new speed tweak extension for Firefox, FasterFox. This one has prefetch functionality as well as pipelining. You'll find the settings under Tools > Options.
