I know there was a post about this on here not too long ago, but I just switched to firefox. Anyone else here use it? Any recommendations, advice, warnings?

I like it except for one little problem. I like my Alexa toolbar (google search and scores websites by page rank). I'm always using that to check out my "competition" out there. If a site is in the top 100,000 most browsed sites, then I can look at their daily traffic scores, page views per viewer, reach, and a graph that shows your progress. Other than that, I like firefox. I would use it all the time if it weren't for that.

Tony, i saw the faster fox one when i was looking for extensions earlier. What's up with those programs? are they neccessary and/or do they work?

I ran Fasterfox and it tweaks an bunch of things. It seems to be a script of some sort that automates the entire list of recommended Firefox tweaks listed in the tweaks section. I backed up my config first, then ran it. Firefox is running faster than IE for me now.

Oh, that site lists recommended tweaks, too? thanks dude, i'll give it a look around.

Tony - Thanks again for that site man. I just made the basic tweaks, skipped the advanced. it's disgusting how fast my browser runs now!
