i'm shocked :P

[dug777]

On the same rig and connection?

Is it just me or is this usual? I really do notice the difference after two weeks using FF (and i will admit i love the extensions, adblock, forecast fox, flashgot are the main ones i am using ) then coming back to IE....

 

[shortspanishguy]

For me IE has always been faster

 

[FleshLight]

Isn't fortnight generally used in the future tense?

Maybe it's all the extensions bogging it down.

 

[ChooChooChooseMe]

It is a wee bit faster... I still prefer firefox.

It's a close call, but then if I go back to IE and get the occasional piece of spyware, it makes me happy I switched to FF

You can try a preview of 1.1 which is said to be faster. I tried it and it may be, but it doesn't support my extensions.

[ironcrotch]

Are you using the FF speedhack?

 

[cjgallen]

IE is MUCH faster IME, but I still prefer FF.

Yeah I believe fortnight is usually future tense, indeed.

I also agree. It is much faster. Give it a try but be careful.

I'll have to check back in a fortnight

Edit: And actually, by the definition it is "a period of time that lasts 14 days" so you may have been technically correct anyhow

i've been trying to find a link to support this, as i'm kinda interested all i can find is that it means 14days (two weeks ) no mention of only using it future tense...

Opera 8 has just been released. It's faster than FF and IE.

Big deal. OOOOoooOOOooOOoOOOOoOOoOOh I just saved 0.000000000000001 seconds by switching browsers, but lost 27509187091841 kickass extensions and other functional features by switching back to IE! Yay me!



Leave the switching to Geico and stick with FF.

 

[n7]

Do the firefox speed tweak thing.

Search the software forum for it, as it really does help.
