Firefox speed running in Windows vs Ubuntu

FF 3.0.x is MUCH faster under Ubuntu. The interface is as fast as Opera. I can't believe it's the same "piggish" app people talk about.

Interesting. I am running Ubuntu from a CD on a computer with no hard drive. Once everything gets loaded Firefox is very fast or faster then my computers with Windows?

If you want to speed up Firefox in Windows, Linux, etc., give the tweaks a shot @ the following web site.

Link To Speed Up Firefox

While you are at it, shut off prefetch (see the following link).

After applying these tweaks you should see a major difference in speed no matter what operating system you are running!

Very nice, thanks. Really speeds up the page refresh through VNC also.
