Anyone else notice that FirFox 1.0 is slower than .8 and .9? I've seen it
whenever I click "Back". It takes longer for it to retrieve that page that
it just visited! That's one thing that ****ed me off about Internet
Explorer! I could never figure out why it took so long to bring up a
previous page when it "should" be instintaneous!

So what's up with FireFox 1.0? Is there setting somewhere I can change?

Thanks,

Jeff

Don't notice a difference here. Do you have an "older" computer, or a
"newer" one?

I don't notice this at all. What are your cache settings?

Lee

Newer I suppose. It's a Dell Dimension 4500, 2.8 Ghz Pentium IV, 768MB Ram,
36 Gig WD Raptor (10,000 RPM) is the system drive, Maxtor 200 gig w/ 16mb
cache. is the second drive. Speed shouldn't be a problem.

I've got FireFox 1.0,.9, and .8 installed in different directories on the
system (FAST) drive.. I can easily switch to either of the older browsers
(I have an icon on my desktop for each browser) and immediately notice the
difference. I've never changed any cache settings for any of the browsers.
I even noticed this problem before I reloaded my system. Now I have a fresh
clean install of XP, all service packs up to but excluding Service Pack 2.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jeff

The default of 50000 KB, I've never gone in and changed it for any of the
versions.

Hi Jeff,

Have a look at the cache setting in about:config

browser.cache.check_doc_frequency

0 = Once per session
1 = Every time
2 = Never
3 = When the page is out of date - /DEFAULT/

If you have it set to 2 then pressing 'back' should be instantaneous.

Maybe you have it set to one of the other options?

HTH,

Tomas

A setting of 1 or Everytime will compare the page on the web to the one
in the cache everytime, resulting in a slowness (contacting the site
again to see if any content changed)

A setting of 0 or Once per session will negate this. As the cache is
used exclusively once the page has been loaded once after restarting the
program

A setting of 2 or Never will exclusively load the cache image (if one
exists) for the page, but can result in you using very old pages (the
page is never fetched from the server if a cache copy exists)

A setting of 3 or When out of date relies on the page itself to set a
refresh, this is the default setting. If the page is set to refresh
itself on a short time period this can cause delays (once again the data
has to be compared)

The default setting of 3 (out of date) or 1 (everytime) can cause a
delay dependent on the page being viewed. My preference is to use a 0
or Once per session setting, which loads the page data the first time
(after restart) a page is accessed, but then doesnt compare it
thereafter until the next restart.

I just set mine to "0" and backtracking is instantaneous, at least with DSL.
This is how I had IE set and it eliminated the delay there too.

Speaking of slower--> I notice that when I click on either the Firefox
(v 1.0) or T-bird (v 0.9) desktop icon, the programs are rather
slow-loading, There is a considerable time (at least 10 seconds)
before the user profile window pops up to begin. Is there a setting
which can be changed to make this start-up quicker?

I have hi-speed Internet and a pretty fast 'puter.

Thanx, Herb
