I've noticed it takes a lot longer to start up as well... and my posts to IW (like this one) seem to take a long time to kick in. And I *know* it's not an IW bandwidth issue any more... :D

*edit* 45 seconds for this one... yeeoowccchhh!!

<span style="color: lightblue">Bungleau, take a look in about:config , and try fiddling with these prefs:
content.notify.interval
content.notify.backoffcount
nglayout.initialpaint.delay
content.max.tokenizing_time

You may have to create them.. they're all integers. Try to keep content.notify.interval and nglayout.initialpaint.delay in sync, but they are in different units (I think there's a factor of about 1000 or so between them...), and make content.max.tokenizing_time a multiple of content.notify.interval . I don't know why, but this is what works for numerous people at Mozillazine, and also what I use. And unless you visit some ulta-modern sites, you can safely set network.dns.disableipv6 to True aswell, and that will speed up page resolutions by quite a bit.
This works well for me, and keeps firefox running smoothly under the weight of over 40 extensions. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Woah!! I just installed Firefox here at work and everything runs sooooo damn fast!!!!! everything at IW's is instant!!!!

IW is quite fast for me thru firefox 1.0.1 and i have a 28.8 k connection.

Compared to IE... oooh yeaa.... ;)

Does anyone know if there is a new version for mac too?

Yes, it's faster than IE but definatly a little slower with the upgrade. ..and what the heck did the upgrade get me anyway?

Just security updates, I think.

<span style="color: lightblue">Goulum, the new version is for all OS's.
Variol, see the release notes for a list of changes.

rrreaditt..

Thanks for the suggestions, LennonCook. I'm trying them out now...
