FasterFox for FireFox 3.6

30 January, 2010 - 07:00 AM - 9 Comments

FasterFox which has always been one of my favorite plug-ins for giving a little extra performance and speed boost for Firefox, now has a FasterFox 3.1.2 update which supports FireFox 3.6. This is still considered an experimental plug-in so you must register with Mozilla to be able to download and install the plug-in, but if you enjoy using Firefox as your primary browser, this plug-in helps make your pages and tabs load faster and is one of my top plugin recommendations for Firefox 3.6.

One thing I wish is that Firefox still opened new tabs at the end of your tab row, instead with the 3.6 update now it opens a new tab adjacent to your current tab (which I find annoying).

You can change the tab opening issue with Tab Mix Plus, as well as lots of other nice tweaks.

Thanks for the tip

jon

this may be a bit late, but surely a TAB addon will be better??

Tabmix does all that for me very well... :D

Hi Justin,

the Add-on can't be found with the given link :(

I'm not sure if i have the same Add-on, i have one called FastestFox 3.1.0
and another one FasterFox Lite 3.8.2 (this improves the speed, too).

I like the feature that the link is opened directly beside the actual tab (i use Minefield since one year the Alpha-version of Firefox). It's implemented since around 3 or 4 months from this experimental browser into the new Firefox 3.6 :)

I think the tab opening is also one of my niggles with 3.6, but it's still faster than 3.5, but fasterfox, it's just going to improve it even more ;)
