Speed up Firefox

Firefox is my favourite browser, particularly because of the amazing range of really useful add-ons available. But I have become increasingly frustrated lately with the treacle slowness at which it loads, which seems to have got worse over time. Apparently this is a common problem, caused by fragmentation of the profile databases that Firefox uses. If you are a new user of Firefox, it loads fine, but as your usage expands, so the program slows. Thus I was delighted to come across a free utility that really does speed up Firefox. I installed it today, and immediately noticed a major improvement. Thanks to Gizmo for the heads up - you can read his article here, along with a pointer to the download.
