ClintEastman Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 Just downloaded & installed, it seems to be as slow as hell compared w/IE, any tweaks for this? I really want to learn to like it. But even as I type this, the cursor doesnt seem to appear in the reply box, and I'm typing blind here...

RadishTM Veteran Posted February 9, 2004 Veteran Share Posted February 9, 2004 Right, everything is setup for me in Firefox with the exception of Flash, do I need to edit the registry file that is for Firebird and edit it to suit Firefox? Or is there another way? Radish? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/139683-firefox-08/page/7/#findComment-1711850 Share on other sites More sharing options...

HellBender Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 sakura.ne.jp is down, mozillazine is down, scragz is down, mozilla.org is molasses-slow.

riven Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 it sure is fast, and it uses the cache really well. It will load images from your cache almost imediatley if you have been to a similar page with the same image. im used to this, being an opera user, but its a lot faster in fire fox Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/139683-firefox-08/page/7/#findComment-1711898 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you used the zipped build of FireFox, you can still install Flash by running the Flash installer and manually pointing it to the FF plugin directory during the install.

Spyder Veteran Posted February 9, 2004 Veteran Share Posted February 9, 2004 radish.. just as an fyi.. the flash installer picks up the browser if you use the non-zipped one. thats part of the reason they created a windows installer.

Yeah Spydie, I don't use the Installer because it tends to change the HTML file assoications/icons upon startup - which I don't want :) Everything is running sweet in Firefox now, thanks guys :happy: Radish?

SioPao Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 If you don't like the installer, there is a .reg file that adds a Firebird entry so that it will show up with installers such as Flash. I have it at home, but if someone wants it can look for it on Mozilla's site.
