Basically, this speeds up Firefox by removing unrequired data that Firefox builds up over time. To enable this option, click the 'Applications' tab, then tick 'Compact Databases' under Firefox

not impressed by the compacting firefox database option. it takes far too long.

I use that Vacuum add on for FF for doing that, works really well.

Will see how this goes later when i get home.

daft question, but is that just for the first run or everytime ?

i tried it again straight afterwards and it was still slow.

weird, mine does it almost instantly..

what AV are you running? maybe it's conflicting with it, try turning that off and doing it (just to see)

i'm not running any AV.

it's show the time it takes at the end. 12 seconds with that option on. 0.2 seconds if turn it off.

I'm used to it being slow as I use secure deletion.

Thanks Bledd.

Why?

Compacting is nearly instant here too.

Thanks.

I've had a problem with Firefox loading very slowly, for a while now. This seems to have fixed it.

just tried a fresh firefox profile and it took around 1.5 seconds. so it doesn't like my old profile for some reason. but i only created this profile a few weeks back. i don't even have that many extensions/bookmarks. oh well, i'll just turn it off. i've managed without it until now.

Thanks for the headsup anyway. I'm a good few versions behind as it is. May as well update.

What's the difference between the normal and slim version?

DJDaz · 26 Nov 2009 at 16:21

only difference as far as i'm aware is that it doesn't ask you to install the google? toolbar when installing the slim version

bledd · 27 Nov 2009 at 11:25

Slim is English only, and no toolbar with the installer
