    Default FireFox Browser tuning

    I've done this before, but after migrating my work machine to Win7, completely forgot to do it again. Then stumbled across the saved link and thought I'd share. This does work well!

    none really. There are some web apps ... generally custom business type apps that might be annoyed with some of it, but it's highly unlikely.

    Thanks, just installed it on my computer at work, and it's slow as hell compared to my long-since tuned version here at home

    I've been using Firefox for a long time, and it just keeps getting slower. I use the Firebug plugin constantly for work, but increasingly I'm using Chrome for browsing. It's so fast I can often launch chrome and have google loaded before Firefox is done starting up.
