Very useful and works, especially the first one.
The second has been covered here before.
But I don't recall the first tip about optimizing the database being discussed here at DC.
Made a good difference on FF for me.
Much faster.

Very true - my profile folder shrank from 105 to 85 MB and the awesomebar feels distinctly snappier.  :Thmbsup:

Curt:
as far as I could understand, the database trick is only for FF 3 (three) - and gives only little improvement if any at all, if I only have a few bookmarks and/or RSS feeds?
 :tellme:

nosh:
It made a difference in my case because I never delete history... nearly 80000 entries.

housetier:
I completely disabled tracking of history, form values or passwords. I only use my bookmarks (which need to be shrunk) and my brain.

Since I open most new urls from my feedreader, I only have to search through all the item there if I need to go back to an old entry/url.
