Ya...dualstriker.

You are right. Nowadays people want everything thats out there for free...
They experiment a lot and finish it with the best.

Firefox is very goo ...there is no denying that. I am using that..

But i find a small problem in Firefox...the memory that is occupied by firefox s very very high when compared to IE or any other browser. When my firefox is running, this is the application that consumes so much of memory. Something better could be done on this....

Well, I don't know, but I have made some tests, here you go:
IE 7 - opened 1 window - 19 MB RAM
Mozilla Firefox - opened 1 window - 9 MB RAM

Something similar is the Page File usage.
Also, I have noticed that IE 7 starts slower than Mozilla Firefox. I don't know why you issued that huh.gif

But ZAMO... my mention was regarding the memory usage.
Please go to task manager and see the memory occupied by both IE and Firefox. Then you will know the difference. Some other processes may starve memory because of this behaviour though i do not have any proofs for this.

But definitely firefox consumes so much of memory....whenever firefox runs that will be the process consuming so much of memory.

Hmm well there was a time when almost everyone in our school was using it!!! Simply because FF is so great it worked around the school web filter simply by using it!! That was brilliant.

They let it continue for a while, then found a way to block it sad.gif Now there really isn't any need to use it because like someone else said, the school computers are so slow its better just to use IE...

Portable firefox is useful in some situations. I tend to use it when i am at the library on a separate computer. However, i do find it runs a bit slow. Ultimately, i prefer to just use remote desktop into my own computer and use the real version. This tends to be almost as fast and as long as i am not looking at a video or lots of images, you can barely notice you are remotely on another computer.

  4. Your Firefox Cache
    Do you know where it is ? (2)
    You can access your FireFox cache files by typing this "about:cache?device=disk" into your FF URL
    bar There is the cache directory will tell you the directory in which cache is stored, this is not
    IE and you'll not be able to browse by going to that directory, because its in encrypted form.
    If you want to browse your cache, you're in the page! The about:cache?device=disk is the
    disk cache page! browse around in here. This is completely different to what is temporary
