Mozilla FirefoxIs by far the best feature-rich and fastest browser out there, but with the passage of time itSlows downConsiderably. It will take a lot of time to load during startup, the overall speed will be converted TED, and browsing Histories will be too slow. This is very common problem and it occurs largelyBecause of fragmentation of databases.
SpeedyFox is a brand new small utility that fixes this problem with a single click! It seems unbelievable but after you optimize your Firefox with this tool, you will get a fresh newly-installed feel because the speed indeed gets considerably faster. you will get up 3 times faster startup speed, browsing history will become faster, and keep Ming operations with cookies will be quicker than before.

If you havePortableVersion of Firefox, choose your profile path manually by selecting "Custom..." profile. All you have to do is hitSpeed Up FirefoxButton.
The optimization process can take anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour depending on how large your databases are. The whole optimization process is safe as it does not effect your history, bookmarks, passwords, etc.
