Use Firefox? Tired of slow start-up? Check here.

:edit: please move this to tech talk.

If you're like me, you use Firefox a LOT.

As a result, you probably noticed it's taking longer to start up, or to process commands.

Cleaning your cache, cookies, and doing a disk defragment won't help in this case.

However, this simple free tool can help!

Firefox uses SQLITE databases to store lots of its settings. Over time, the databases grow and Firefox starts working slowly. SpeedyFox compacts those databases without losing any data.

You will get up 3 times faster startup speed, browsing history will become faster, and performing operations with cookies will be quicker than before.

This Freeware product earns the Prisoner416 seal of approval. Keep an eye out for more freeware suggestions.

I don't know if it works well or not because I'm on Chrome 4.

Not the same, only does one bit of compression.

The tool I linked to does more.
