ummmm… all of you naysayers, learn to use FireFox right and its absolutely the most advanced browser you can get… why dont we reduce the memory usage a bit (cuz that seems to be your main problem), just

1) go to about:config (via your address bar)
2) find browser.cache.disk.capacity and change it from 50000 to… say, 10000… now it can only use 10MB

wanna cut it down even more when your minimise??? just

1) go to about:config again
2) make a new boolean value called config.trim_on_minimize
3) set the value to true and restart FF.. done

what's that you say?? you wanna make FF load pages "faster"???? well how could you possibly do that with such a shit browser????? oh… thats right! PIPELINING! go to about:config and

1) find network.http.pipelining and set it to true
2) then find network.http.pipelining.maxrequests and set it to something like 30 or 40… now FF will 30 or 40 requests at any given time

you want even more browsing speed?!? well, you're a greedy one aren't you? but FF can do it! go into about:config again and

1) create a new integer value called nglayout.initialpaint.delay
2) set said value to zero, now FF will act on all received data instantly!

hate the way TF or Google (or any other site, for that matter) look? why not grab Stylish and make it your own?! you might even learn something while you're at it!

and there's so much more you can do too… so learn a little bit about how to harness its full power before you decide its the worst thing out

NOTE: also, to solve your memory issues, consider the possibility of learning about something else (its called HARDWARE!!)… then you might wanna ditch your old Dell that has a 450MHz Katmai and 64MB of RAM (that lack of RAM's probably your problem)

I prefer to keep my browser naive to what my BitTorrent is up to…

FF rocks, so does utorrent. and fuck all those useless addons, the more addons u install the bigger chance to slow and fuck up your FF.
All those who blame FF are naive,-have no idea what they r talking about. Nobody forces u to install dozens of addons…
Any way thx guys for informing us about Firetorrent so I won’t have to try it, utorrent is still the king ;-))

Please pay attention before posting.

firetorrent is not the same as FoxTorrent!

The old FoxTorrent is a crappy extension that install Red Swoosh spyware client and it only support older versions of FF.

firetorrent is the new extension. It uses libtorrent, which is an open source implementation of the BitTorrent protocol, also used by several torrent clients like Deluge and Halite. This alone is a big improvement over older FF torrent implementations.

For those who can’t get rid of Windows and uTorrent, keep in mind that any torrent implementation that facilitate download is good for the p2p community, because helps make the protocol more popular and thus more difficult to be stopped by the corporate mafia.

this is utter shit.

firetorrent installs a load of shit in the background that’s set to run at startup and well slows your computer down.

fuck off with your shitty adverts TF
