Before the download day, I was using opera. But, I have change my mind after using firefox.
Thanks for the update!!! Although my system asked every time to upgrade it, I neglected. But now I have upgraded after reading your post.
what this function "config.trim_on_minimize" actually?
I have apply this setting too, let see how fast it will be :P
From what I can tell, this doesn't boost Firefox's speed -- it just helps Windows to free up memory when Firefox is minimized. This can help if you have *other* programs running and not enough memory for everything (in which case they will have more memory). The only effect it should have on the speed of Firefox is that it will be slower to switch back to Firefox when it is minimized.
