Launch Your Firefox, Instantly.

Filed under How To.

Firefox Eating IE (Internet Explorer)

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…

Heres how you can launch your Firefox browser instantaneously!

  1. Go to this sourceforge page and download the .exe file.
  2. Launch and install.
  3. Your good to go.
  4. Enjoy this browser for what it really is known for… Reference the picture :twisted:

Thanks for sharing.  Really useful tool.  There are times I have to wait even for 3 min before Firefox loads.

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.

Try to install FIrefox 3. Firefox 3 is faster, safer and smarter than ever before.

I was wondering why Firefox takes so long to start-up the first time you open it the other day. now thanks to that piece of software you mentioned above I don’t have to wait anymore.

I wonder why Firefox takes that long?

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!

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!
