Have you been tempted to offload Firefox recently because 3.0 is lame and slow and worse than Internet Explorer 7? Me too. I hate the new Firefox. I hate it so much that I have foregone the joys of Firebug, Adblock, and Gspace in favor of the software that came on my computer. I know, what am I thinking? Using pre-installed software - Hah! But the new FF is the bloatiest piece of crap ever. I probably shouldn't be so harsh, but it really is a problem creator, and that's not something I value in my software.

Well, it's a little better now with the 3.0.5 update, and thanks to the tips here: How To: Double Your Firefox Browsing Speed with a Few Easy Tweaks

Believe it or not, these tweaks actually help, a little.... well, they make FF a tolerable work space again. My CPU fan is still a little more on-all-the-time than I'd like, but now I can block ads again. Thank bajebus.
