I converted to FireFox today

[danball1976]

Today, I decided to download FireFox on a whim to see how it is. This is soooo much better than Internet Explorer. Tabbed browsing is a godsend, and it uses less memory than Internet Explorer. Right now with 5 tabs open, it is using 45MB, Internet Explorer would use close to 100MB.

Who says you cant escape the darkside. Welcome young padawan to the light side of the force.

Now.. here are some tricks to help make things even better...

right click the firefox icon, select properties

change your target line to this..
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" /prefetch:1

obviously make sure it points to your actual executable. You just really need to add the /prefetch:1

they have a whole list of tweaks that improve page load times and such. I highly recommend them...

What extensions?

unlinker owns all. basically, if you're looking at a bunch of links (say for pr0n pics :D) you'd right click on one of the links and click unlinker and then it would open all the pics in a new tab. saves you from having to click on each link one at a time.
