Things were going so slow, I almost bought a new computer… almost.Ī couple of days ago, I decided to attack the problem.

When your Firefox profile has 7-8 years of history, bookmarks, and other information it takes up a lot of memory. I make extensive use of autocomplete in URLs, so that history is very useful to me. When I got the new computer, I imported my Firefox profile so I’d have all my browsing history. I’ve been using Firefox for years and years. I’ve already written about How to Speed Up Your Computer, but after you take all those steps, what do you do?įor me the answer was look at the browser. It wasn’t the fastest processor on the block to start with, but with the time it has gotten much, much slower. My laptop had its 2-year birthday a couple of months ago.
