Speed-up Firefox


If you have been running Firefox for some time Firefox slows down but here's a small trick to rejuvenate the aged copy
of Firefox without doing a fresh install.

Step 1: Start Firefox and export your bookmarks as a file on your hard-drive (we'll need them later).
Step 2: Type firefox.exe - P in the Run box of Windows.
Step 3: Click the Create Profile button without making any
modifications to your existing profile (which is normally called
"default")

Now when you Start Firefox in the new profile, you are very likely to
be impressed with the speed. You can import the bookmarks that you
saved in Step 1. And if you ever need to revert to the old profile, just type Firefox -P again and click the old profile. Nothing is lost.

Note: there won't be any old Firefox add-ons in the new profile but the browser will be extremely quick and won't hog the CPU.
