Firefox start faster
A
Since I am now well but slowly from my Maxthon browser to switch to Firefox, will occasionally here's a tip for people who change their browser and just ("old" rabbit-like Firefox simply skip these posts).
a) Start Firefox faster: It is sufficient if you as a startup parameter "/ prefetch: 1" attaches, so for example, created a link that reads like this: c: \ program files \ mozilla firefox \ firefox.exe / prefetch: 1
The starting rates are improved noticeably.
b) use tabs better: The Firefox extension "Tabbrowser Preferences" is available now for Firefox 1.0 ...
(Unlike other extensions here, an integration into the "normal" browser setting menu). You can adjust quite a lot of points - the most important thing for me links that would otherwise open a new window to be automatically displayed in a new tab. Above all I wanted, however, that the tabs open in the background, so I can read more on the real side, while several other pages are loaded. This also works.
c) close tab by double-clicking: Well, actually I would like to - close the tabs by right clicking once - just like Maxthon. But a double is also okay. In addition I have the extension "Tab Clicking Options" installed that already works well with the 1.0.
/ / PS: Firefox works faster to start with the parameter, at least from the second program call. Will there be there some day one version, which generally starts faster? And it makes a difference if you have many plugins installed?

Wow. I use Firefox for quite some time, but with the / prefetch I did not know really. The speed increase is really impressive.
Is indeed funny, and I always use Maxthon, formerly "MyIE2", and today more and more Firefox. Thanks for this tip. Loads really slowly. Let's see how it works!
Greetings, Horst
So I did and who says he can not find the target
have XP, FX 1.0 Final
mmmh .... ne idea?
I also use XP, and I will not either.
The path is found Non Smoking!
Be entered under "target" must be exactly as follows (that first quote, the / prefetch then without):
"C: \ Program Files \ Mozilla Firefox \ firefox.exe" / prefetch: 1
If Windows will still report that the program is not found, then you have Firefox installed on a different path / to another disk.
I've typed exactly, but he still gives the message that he does not find it. But I have FF installed in that path for sure!
And he estimates the error message is automatically a C: \ in front of "C: \ Program Files \ Mozilla Firefox \ firefox.exe" / prefetch: 1
What can it still be wrong?
Somehow it just useless nothing (prefetch)
that's the thing that it is only the first load so terribly long it takes
I do not want to be nosy but try it some where you just use the function "link" the browse button in Windows. Then it is easy to add the / prefetch: 1
and directly, läufts - I guess ...
The / prefetch: 1 must simply be appended to the target and must not be between the quotes: "C: \ Program Files \ Mozilla Firefox \ firefox.exe" / prefetch: 1
mmmh true * fg * So thanks eeeendlich number Bo (# 9) is the LOL .... was to advance to the stupid are aiming; oP
Hi,
the prefetch with is really great.
I had earlier with my 800mhz 128mb and good 20sec + to wait until I could start typing url NEN, now I need only 3 seconds ... if that's not in very nearly
achja extension and when I can recommend the
tabbrowser extension friend
Give time / prefetch = 1 instead of 1, and already it will go!
Super Tip.
So I swear to continue maxthon. there is no browser in my opinion is as varied as maxthon!
In my case (XP) it works fine. Thanks for the tip!
, I'm sorry but this does not work in xp
've tried it myself first, and secondly it is on these pages, that it is fake ...:
# http://www.firefox-browser.de/wiki/Geschwindigkeit_optimieren Starten_beschleunigen
and the linked daurauf page:

hi
at the first start takes ff still for so long
prefetch = 1 Brinx nothing.
PCFreunde.de> Forums> Internet> Web Browser, Plug-ins> My Firefox starts to slow?
I changed the settings as suggested and actually achieved with a 800 MHz Pentium acceptable times (about 5 times faster)
There will be a preloader on the following page for Firefox, of these, such as M $ IE, already loads when Windows starts, it is therefore always immediately available.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/ffpreloader/
exactly how this works with the fast start Firfox (sry no experience)
Very cool - I'm still not known, top tip, thanks!
