Fixing Firefox problems with Firetune

While I'm a fan of Firefox I've found the habit of Firefox 2.0 to lock up on certain websites a minor nuisance which requires restarting Firefox to fix.

I've been experimenting with FireTune and so far it's worked well. Over the next few days we'll see.

According to the professional cranks at Cranky Geeks, it's due to the way Firefox assumes you are using an old computer on a slow connection and one of Fire Tune's fixes is to change those settings.

I'm not so sure, in my case it seems to coincide with flash heavy websites so I'm suspicious it isn't a Flash or scripting issue.

Anyway, we'll see in the next few days, but the results have been good so far, I've added it to our IT Queries website.
