Google Operating System: Browse Faster in Firefox
on March 6th, 2007 - UncategorizedAdd comments
This is very cool.
OK, Microsoft - tell me how to do these exact same things in IE7!
Firefox’s extensions are useful, but often they slow-down web browsing and increase the amount of RAM used by the browser. A simple way to run Firefox with no extension enabled is to use the safe mode.
Before trying this, you can change a setting that saves the sites loaded when you close Firefox (Tools/Options/General/When Firefox opens… show my windows and tabs from last time).
How to run Firefox in safe mode? Close the browser, go to Start, click on Run and type:
firefox -safe-mode
In Linux and Mac, you should open the Terminal and type:
/pathtofirefox/firefox -safe-mode

Even though I’m not Miscrosoft, allow me to answer this question for them: It’s very simple:
You can do this by going to Start, clicking All Programs, click Accessories, click System Tools and click Internet Explorer (No add-ons). This disables all add-ons from loading in that instance of Internet Explorer.
While on that ‘Internet Explorer (No add-ons)’ item, right click it and send a shortcut to your desktop. Then drag/drop THAT icon to your taskbar. Now you have a one-click solution to an add-on-free Internet Explorer 7 instance!

Cool. I never launched Internet Explorer from the Start menu before… since all those desktop links are already there.
