A quick tip this evening. Since quite a lot of people use Firefox (the majority of the visitors to this site are Firefox Users), its always useful to know a quick little trick if your browser is slowing down. I found this trick as a solution to my browser slowing down, some times it would take about 20 minutes to load on a really bad day. Its all related to your history.
I like using PDF’s. I don’t know why. Its just a format that always seems to work with the minimum amount of fuss. I like them so much that I get really annoyed if someone sends me a Word documents or similar instead of a PDF. Since PDF’s have become big business a lot of websites host them for you to view. Most normal browsers will display them as a normal web page. Firefox 3 doesn’t. This can get very annoying. There is a plugin which I will discuss today to get around this glaring hole.
This post comes in part from MacOSXTips. Since many of my readers use Firefox I thought it would be a good idea to post these up here. Hidden functunality works differently on Firefox. It doesn’t use the normal preference files. It uses a separate file stored within the application itself.
Firefox is the best browser in the world in my opinion but every so often it will crash. This is a very short post that is designed to get to the core of the problem. It does take a while to implement. But the rewards are a non crashing browser that works every time.
