[quote=“Locutus,post:23,topic:29255"”] i never understood why people use FF… its the trendy thing to do IMO. keep your stuff patched in IE and live happy [/quote] :bloated: IE blows. FF has a vast plugin library, themes, tabbed browsing (although IE just got it in version 7), spell check, ect. I’m using ie7 at work and it just crashes randomly on some pages (must be a script issue)… firefox portable FTW :headbang: My only issues with FF is the lack of support for embedded windows media files, but with the IE tab plugin it’s a non issue and some pages don’t seem to display correctly but haven’t seen it happen since the last release came out. ---

go to about:config, filter “browser.cache” and select “browser.cache.disk.capacity”. It’s set to 50000, but you can lower it, depending on how much memory you have. Try 15000 if you have between 512MB and 1GB ram. ---
