Keep your Firefox tabs loading lightening fast

From Mozilla, a non-profit organization and developer of Firefox Unsubscribe | Modify your preferences | View in your browser April 2012     Tips for Tabs (and Other Tricks) In honor of International Earth Day on April 22 — and in the general spirit of conservation — this month we're going to show you some ways to conserve resources and get the most out of your browsing experience. We'll teach you how to make Firefox faster by customizing and managing your tabs and we'll give you an add-on to make printing better by helping you not waste paper. We'll also give you some themes to literally turn your browser green — but before we do that, we'll take a little detour through another Firefox Flicks video (there's still time to enter and vote!) and share this month's featured add-ons.

Tips for Tabs (and Other Tricks) Become a Tab Super User Print Only What You Need It's Almost "The End" for Firefox Flicks Featured Desktop Add-ons Latest Fashions for Your Browser   Become a Tab Super User If you use tabs — whether it's just a few at a time or so many that it makes the vastness of space seem small by comparison — there's a great, simple way to speed up your browser's performance. By tweaking a few settings, Firefox will remember the sites you were on last time, but load each tab one at a time, instead of all at once. Firefox will be faster, you'll be happier and the world will be a better place. OK, so maybe we can't be sure about that last part, but we can dream. Read the whole story to learn how to change your tab preferences.

Sound familiar? You probably have a scrap paper stack full of pages just like that. And when that doesn't happen, you get ads and other stuff you don't want all over your printouts (when all you wanted was that cookie recipe). If you add the Print Edit add-on to Firefox, however, you can format, hide or delete anything you want on any page before printing. You might have fewer pages for doodling on, but you'll also conserve paper, ink and — ultimately — money. We think that's a pretty fair trade.
