Reduce Firefox Load Time on Windows XP, Vista & 7

As you keep adding addons to Firefox, it increases the time it takes to load Firefox. You can reduce this load time significantly by just doing the following quick fix:

Right click on your Firefox icon and click the Properties sub menu, find the Compatibility tab, check “Run this program in compatibility mode for” and select “Windows 2000″ from the drop down menu. If you are running Windows Vista/7 and have Firefox link pinned in the task bar, you can find Properties link in the following screen shot:

It has worked for me for Firefox 3.6, if you find any problems, just go to the same Compatibility tab and unselect “Run this program in compatibility mode for”.

Another option to reduce Firefox Load time is to compress the DLL/EXE files. I have not personally tried that trick which is explained in details on http://www.techsupportalert.com/how_to_make_firefox_faster.htm
