Waiting for Firefox to load… Sucks.
I’ve had a great idea for a post to write for my blog. Usually I will open Firefox and wait 30 seconds for it to load completely. Well, that had been fine until I forgot what I was going to do last night. That idea was lost until a couple hours later when I finally revived it in my thoughts. Angry, I looked for a solution and found an excellent program. Without further Adieu…

I had problems with firefox loading and getting stuck and then freezes. This is so frustrating. I will use your tip. I hope this will work for me. I have unistall and then re-installed firefox and I was still having the same problem with the browser still freezing. If you have some other tips, that will help just in case this one does not work for me. However,I sure hope this tip works for me. Thanks.

Thanks
Thanks for sharing, I’ll try this.
Great tip. I never knew that waiting for firefox annoyed me until I read your post. Thanks for the plug-in, I’ll give it a go now!
It is interesting, Thanks for information.
Wow! Thanks for sharing! I really need this !
Good and great tip.
I love Firefox!
Thank for Great tips
Thanx a lot! This is very useful.
The tip very great,
Thanks
the problem with the fasterfirefox plug-in is it is not compatible with the latest version of FF. I tried the FFpreloader and it does a little change on the loading speed but actually I really like Firefox and I think my waiting is worth it but with this preloader you suggested, it is such a relief. Thanks!
This is great post. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the useful tips and resources.
Thanks for sharing great tips

I like Firefox.. good tips!
Awesome find, thanks for sharing!
There is Speed Dial plugin to increase fire fox speed.
With Speed Dial, you can easily access your most used websites. To show the Speed Dial tab, use the Speed Dial button (which can be added to the toolbar), or enter “chrome://speeddial/content” in your location bar.
Thanks for this great download Brad!
I too am really tired of always having to wait 30+ seconds for Firefox to load. I love Firefox, but because of this issue, I have started using Google Chrome. If this download helps, I will be back to the Firefox!

Yes, you right. Firefox is too heavy when loaded for first time. Thank you for your link.
FF eat so much system resources. You can see that just by typing at the command prompt tasklist, then you’ll see the details about ff.. here’s mine..
taskeng.exe 2784 Console 1 10,024 K
cmd.exe 3068 Console 1 1,972 K
wmpnscfg.exe 3200 Console 1 4,832 K
firefox.exe 3404 Console 1 394,272 K
TextPad.exe 1376 Console 1 16,520 K
FF eats up a lot of system resources. About 300k of system ram it eaten up in a single process.
Lol, nice FF logo
Downloading……..
Download it now. Thanks for the tip!
thanks for sharing this wonderful information really appreciate these type of small contributions…really very helpful…keep it up
I think I’ve found a reason to start using Firefox again. Even the latest version was so slow for me I had to use Google Chrome and IE but the lack of plugins are quite annoying. Thanks to this software you mentioned, I can use Firefox again!
While I like a lot of the plug-ins that can be added to Firefox, I tend to find that the more it’s updated, the less and less I like it. But until something comparable comes along I guess I’ll learn to deal with it
Thanks for the post.
ive been having a long waiting time for my firefox browser loading. i think this is a good find. i will take a look at it and might try to install it. thanks for sharing!!
awesome post! thank you – i love firefox but hate the load time – you wouldn’t know how to get it to close quick now would you?
This is why I love firefox, there is so many developers out there to make it better, there is not much that it can’t do and like it way better than IE and Google Chrome. That Firefox logo is great also, I haven’t seen that one yet.
