Hmmm, Thanks Sandy, Maybe I should see how your baby is "digesting" this new tool or program first and then decide whether to try it myself ;0 christy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sandi Beach" <sandib2@xxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, August 22, 2009 11:13 AM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: Java Update--now CCleaner--now FF preloader Cristy, I had to Google to find this again! A couple of guys on the list had mentioned the preloader and I probably got the url originally from there. Here it is: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffpreloader/ You might want to read up on it. It definitely helps speed up the load of firefox. I just noticed on the site I sent to you that one reviewer described it as nothing but adware???? Others wrote favorable reviews. Currently my machine is a bit wonkers but I have done so many things lately that I cannot point to any one thing as causing my problems. Just downloaded and used CCleaner for the first time after setting a restore point, uninstalled Weather Pulse and re-installed it. Prior to these things I downloaded and installed FF reloader. So I probably should have remembered how we used to introduce new foods to our babies!! Just one new item for about a week at a time.
