MOZILLA FIREFOX – What more could you possibly ask for ?
The mozilla team never stops at any cost. The thing is that they never get enough of their products. They just keep developing different products and don’t just wait for competing other companies. In simple words I think you will see the mozilla laboratories on the moon in some years.
Most of the people around me shifted from the standard internet explorer as soon as they experienced firefox; be it an internet café, a friend’s place, or a mere mention of the things you could do. For most, it has become an instant preference. I wasn’t surprised when I heard Mozilla firefox had actually hit the Guiness. Yes, Ladies and gentlemen, that Willy fox is the proud record holder of most downloads in a single day!
Why the craze, you may ask? Well, it’s probably the team’s dedication to a constantly improving browser, giving its users more than the browser next door.
Mozilla firefox 4.0 is a proof that the team wouldn’t take a holiday. It has hit the circles with a bang!
Let me give you at least one reason why!

Firefox 3.5 has been around for quite a while, yet you can still find add-ons and themes that were not updated to work with it (most of them abandoned). Some of them are great, providing unique functionality that you can’t otherwise get.
So, if you are already using Firefox 3.5 (which is faster and better in a lot of ways), is there something you can do about those plugins?
Why, yes, yes there is!
Firefox developers have built in a setting that you can change to allow installation of older add-ons and themes. It is disabled by default, as some of those plugins are incompatible with the new version and can cause crashes, freezes and other problems.
But most of them will still work, and the only way to find out is to try it yourself.

If you’ve been actively using Firefox 3.5 for a while, you might have noticed that is starts slower and slower every time. This is because of a security feature which requires the browser to randomize security hashes and code every time it starts up.
This means it needs to reload configuration data and other information on every startup, and if you have downloaded a lot of files, surfed a lot of sites and have lots of passwords saved for each one, the process can be very slow (it can take up a few minutes!).
You can mediate this by buying a faster hard drive (an SSD would be preferable) and regularly clearing your browser’s cache, history and saved passwords (from Tools->Clear Recent History), but I’m assuming you don’t really want to do that  .
So I’m going to show you a very simple solution that will speed up Firefox’s startup time while keeping your data intact.
It involves deleting the files in Temporary folders, which are also scanned by Firefox every time it loads. You’ll have to do this about once a month, so I think it shouldn’t be a huge inconvenience. You have to open the following folders and delete all files inside (leaving those that can’t be deleted for any reason):
In Windows XP (replace “#USER#” with your username):
C:\Documents and Settings\#USER#\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files
C:\Documents and Settings\#USER#\Local Settings\Temp
C:\WINDOWS\Temp
In Windows Vista and 7:
%TEMP%
You can copy each line into Windows Explorer’s address bar, replacing “#USER#” with your current username.
Let’s see how it helped me:
I had 3.95GB of files in these folders (after about 8 months of using Firefox). Browser startup time was 22 seconds (measured with a stopwatch) before I deleted them and went down to 11 seconds afterwards, which is exactly twice as fast. There were still about a dozen files left which could not be deleted, but their size was 1.67MB total, so they can’t make any significant difference.
