Is there any reason why Mozilla is like 10x faster than IE?

?????????????????????

Say what? Mozilla is dog slow on my computer in Linux compared to IE in Windows.

 

[paruhd0x]

Because Mozilla > IE?

 

[Nocturnal]

I swear on my life, Windows XP and Mozilla > *

I don't know about 10X but I did switch to Firebird last week and it is MUCH faster then IE. I guess part of the reason is that it's not as bloated as IE.

I tried it and it was slow as shi$. Back to IE for me.

The theme / extension (mouse gestures, etc.) support is nice.

And of course, tabbed browsing.

 

[AnyMal]

I should've mentioned I am on broadbend and the difference is significant.

All the features of Firebird/Mozilla for IE


Yes, i use it. Yes, it rocks.

 

[Sachmho]

i made the switch about a week ago too and do notice a definate speed difference

 

[wicktron]

No noticable speed difference for me, but I like the way it handles things.

I have used opera, mozilla, itreesurf & myie2 (in addition to the original ie6 )

I like them in the order

myie2 > opera > itreesurf > mozilla > ie6

Yes broadband

I've tweaked IE, w/ the Registry HTTP Connections option... it loads PDQ. I've tried firebird (a few mo's ago) and didn't notice a significant difference, certainly not 10x faster than IE. I don't doubt it's faster though... probably been some optimizations.

Most of the othe features from mozilla I get from crazy browser so at this point I'm still not switching. But I may if something cool comes along, or IE gets buggy.

 

[Rkonster]

I see no discernible speed difference. And yes, I have broadband.

 

[Hubris]

Only thing is, I wish Firebird had an option so I could make links opening in a new Tab the default. But that's a small thing. Otherwise it's a pretty cool browser.

Strange, my friend downloaded Mozilla and fileplanet looked like crap. He sent me a screenshot of it and it looked a ghetto webpage from 96 with just blue links down the left.

Works fine for me too. Of course I wouldn't really want to navigate fileplanet anyway...
