My god... and I thought IE was slow.
So I've been using Firefox as my main browser for about a year now. I must say, up until now I have ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. Although, recently, I have noticed that Firefox is running extremely slowly now. I thought this was my internet connection, and that I couldn't do anything about it. I tried using Google chrome to view things, and it was like my computer was brand spankin' new. It was absolutely fantastic... kind of like the first time I used Firefox. I don't get it. It's not like you store files into your web browser (temporary internet files? -- I already deleted those), so I don't know why Firefox is running slower than Chrome. I thought Mozilla always bragged about how fast Firefox was. I tried IE, too, but don't get me started on that one :P it's still slower than a dead snail. So what can I do to speed up Firefox? I do not like Google chrome AT ALL. It's amazingly fast, but I just love my Firefox and I want to be able to use it more.. just faster. WAY faster. |
