There is really not much fire over that fox and has never been. I usually call it Slowfox instead ;-)

Netscape had a very fast and efficient browser up to version 4.6 to 4.7 (depending on the language). Then they "committed suicide" and jumped on this terrible Mozilla project, which Firefox is also a part of.

You have done a great job making this forum fast, so you know something about efficiency, but most programmers do not do that. A sufficent amount of object-oriented programming can kill even the fastest computer.

I have also tried Opera. It is fast and efficient, but it cannot print - at least not to PostScript - and it do not display things the way IE do, so even though I am really not among Microsoft's biggest fans, I see no alternative to IE.

Hum, not very impressed with the new build - 1.5 seems very slow - 1 thing you can do to speed it up - disable the damn thumnail tabs - this takes processing time to squeeze them down:

1 Enter URL of about:config

2 filter on "image_icon" (browser.chrome.image_icons.max_size sets the size above which thumbnails aren't produced)

3 change the value from 1024 to 0
