I updated CCleaner and cleaned up the junk files and ran the registry cleaner.

Seems fine now. Still debating if I should stick with FF or use Chrome full time.... Eh I will figure it out....

I always use Firefox but I did try Chrome on my friend's laptop. Thought it was ok but became disappointed when I couldn't download a video from youtube or cnn. Figuring out there is no NoScript. Plus not being able to organize my tabs the way I want to with having sidebar tabs like with Treestyletabs or Tab Kit 2nd Edition.
 
Berryracer once you figure out Ad Blocker Plus sucks and Ad Muncher rocks is the beginning of a really new Firefox. All those filters in a block list really are to intensive. Plus you don't really need NoScript anymore because Ad Muncher blocks tracking cookies and such.

Though I never thought a free Ad Blocker would ever stay good forever. Don't get me wrong I still suggest it to people but warn them of how intensive it can be.

There is one add-on almost every single Firefox user has installed which would be, Ad Blocker Plus.

I have a lifetime license for Ad Muncher but I don't use it as I felt my internet was slower when I used it like 5 months back so I went back to AD Block Plus and recently switched to Ad Block Edge

1) Why do you say Ad Muncher is better than Ad Block Plus?

2) You are saying that Ad Muncher has a tracking blocker as well?

I have DoNotTrackMe installed but occasionally do find tracking cookies when I scan with SUPERAntiSpyware so do you think with Ad Muncher I can uninstall DoNotTrackMe altogether?

3) I use MVPS Hosts file. what is your opinion about it? it is blocking my IE ads at the moment for when I use IETAB sometimes do you think that slows my internet to have MVPS Hosts file and recommend I get rid of it?

Well because Ad Muncher is much more powerful.

Yes Ad Muncher blocks tracking cookies and many other things so NoScript is not necessary. Yes you can.

I don't like Hosts files. Ad Muncher blocks ads just like hosts files in any browser. Plus it is more powerful.
 
Turns out that Firefox and Aurora in particular are actually really fast because when pipelining is enabled in them it makes Numion stopwatch report slow loading.

So until websites get optimized for pipelining just run Firefox and Aurora without pipelining enabled and get speeds faster than Chrome and all the configuration pluses of Firefox.
