Improving Firefox Portable's Performance

* Disable Session Restore / Undo Close Tab - Firefox 2.0 introduced a new
feature called session restore. It keeps track of all your open windows and tabs
and can restore your session if Firefox should crash.which slows down Firefox

Portable.(which is why Firefox Portable asks on first run if you'd like to disable it)
Say Yes & it's a Fast Firefox,Go to Control Panel > System > Advanced > Performance
Settings > Adjust for best performance (or) Custom my Pick only tick Use drop
shadows for icon labels on the desktop click Apply,Right click desktop Properties
Appearance > Windows Classic style not Windows XP style,Go to Advanced to make look
nice,Effects I tick only Hide underlined letters for keyboard navigation until I
press the Alt key,now go to Settings Hardware acceleration try Full may need to
back off one if it some times slow down when you try to scrolling up or down a page
try and test it,Go to Firefox Privacy history lest is best untick all you don't need.

http://kb.mozillazine.org/Scrolling_is_slow
slower scrolling on some pages in Firefox 3 only.

will run fast on Windows XP with only 256 MB Ram 1000 CPU Dial-up.
you can try Open Firefox and In the address bar put about:config then hit enter so on
but not work for me most on the net is for old firefox (PS) now put on all my addons still fast,I did try Opera 9.64 & Opera 10 not as fast as Firefox all USB Portable

PS if you got fast PC you may find the 'about:config then hit enter' will work OK it did for me on the fast PC do right down the setting be for you change.do a look up on the net see if it's new firefox

Hotdoge 3 Thanks for the tips. I have read about (and actually have friends that have) people that have had trouble with Firefox 3 giving them problems. I know that in their forum they talk about they are looking into it and trying to find out what is happening with it, because it is not everyone having the problem. There seems to be no rhyme or reason for what is happening. Well, when I had to redo my laptop I downloaded Firefox three and had the problems discussed. I have used it for years with no trouble and complete happiness. Well, the good news for me what that I got to test my theory out and found that it worked. So, that brings me to why I am posting about this.

My theory was that the people that I know that have been using it for years have had no trouble unless they have had to redownload it for one reason or another. So, I think that there is something that is being lost in the direct download that they do not realize. My theory hold water because after the direct download that brought about the problem.. I downloaded Firefox from my CD (it is all the way back to Firefox original). I then let it update to 2 and then to 3. I have no problem and honestly have to say that it moves right along just like always. I did download the Firefox Preloader, but only for another benefit that it offers.

Anyway, I hope that this might help someone that might be having trouble and get them back to the Firefox they love.

Best Wishes,
