Moderators rridgely Posted April 12, 2006 Moderators Share Posted April 12, 2006 Firetune is a firefox optimizer that does lots of little tweaks to speed up firefox even more. This new version adds a couple of new tweaks. Some changes to the main performance tweaks - please re-apply the optimizations for your specific hardware configuration A new tweak included to optimize Firefox' memory usage A few internal optimizations and performance improvements http://www.totalidea.com/freestuff4.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted April 12, 2006 Moderators Share Posted April 12, 2006 I tried it and absolutely didn't notice any differences within Firefox performance-wise or speed-wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators rridgely Posted April 13, 2006 Author Moderators Share Posted April 13, 2006 Not sure why you didnt see any increase. I have noticed every time I put it on a new install of firefox a pretty significant page load time decrease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Andavari Posted April 13, 2006 Moderators Share Posted April 13, 2006 Not sure why you didnt see any increase. I have noticed every time I put it on a new install of firefox a pretty significant page load time decrease. Well it could be because I'm on dial-up. Then again something I had forgot about; I suppose my proxy filtering software CookieCop could also possibly be the reason why I didn't notice any improvements. Who knows for sure. In any event I'm just feeling lucky that Firefox is running on my system at all as previously it would crash my whole system at about exactly ten minutes. The current version has only crashed just Firefox itself only once but that was due to using some crappy third-party extension I was just trying out.

Moderators rridgely Posted April 13, 2006 Author Moderators Share Posted April 13, 2006 Yeah it could be the dial up or cookie cop. I'm usually skeptical about programs that claim to speed up your internet but this one actually worked and didnt install any crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slowday444 Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 I upgraded the other day, however, it still shows version 1.1.0 instead of 1.1.1! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted April 13, 2006 Moderators Share Posted April 13, 2006 I upgraded the other day, however, it still shows version 1.1.0 instead of 1.1.1! I noticed that when I downloaded it, it was supposedly the January release that was downloaded instead. Perhaps they just forgot to change the internal version number, then again maybe someone should contact them to make sure they didn't inadvertently upload the old version.

slowday444 Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Initially I thought maybe I needed to reboot but that didn't work. There is solace in knowing I'm not the only one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I'm on broadband and this is the second time that I've tried it, and I didn't notice any change either. Bummer, I would like it to work for me too.

pwillener Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Running 1.1.0 did not seem to make any difference. However after running it again with 1.1.1, page loading seems a lot faster now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
