Folks, having a problem launching Firefox. Getting the 'Mozilla Crash Reporter' and i eventually get it going but it is seriously slow.
Deleted cache and history etc. I have tried to uninstall/reinstall but still the same. Gonna use this to back up but does anyone know whats happening?
There seems to be a lot of issues lately with Firefox. I don't know what the problem is. I'm using Google Chrome for the time being.Quote:

'Firefox pages runs faster by allowing multiple connections so it can download more than one file at a time. It’s only useful for broadband users, so if you’re still on dial-up you can just skip this one for now.
Here’s something for broadband people that will really speed Firefox up:
1.Type “about:config” into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:
network.http.pipelining network.http.proxy.pipelining network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.
2. Alter the entries as follows:
Set “network.http.pipelining” to “true”
Set “network.http.proxy.pipelining” to “true”
Set “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.
3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set its value to “0″. This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives.'
