Today I got fed up with Firefox. It was taking forever to open simple html pages off my local drive. I was giving some serious thought to switching browsers. Then I decided to give FF a fair chance. I turned off almost all of the add-ons I have collected. Guess what? Its speedy once again. Kind of a no brainer but I wish I didn’t have to take away the functionality.
I’ll have to try this. Firefox is the slowest browser I have installed. Chrome, Safari and IE are all faster. The only addons I have are:
firebug
Norton IPS (This is probably hurting)
Norton Toolbar
Page Speed
YSlow
