Couple of weeks ago I installed Waterfox, because I read somewhere it is for 64 bit systems and hellish fast.
I had been using chrome.
I didn't see much difference, in fact it appeared to me to be, if anything, slower than chrome.
I eventually got around to doing a speed test at Speedtest.net - The Global Broadband Speed Test
I was surprised to see that water fox was only downloading at 3.5 mbps.
I fired up chrome and it was doing 13+.
After fooling around I have discovered that waterfox is dog slow, but if I open chrome, Waterfox speeds up.
If I close chrome Waterfox slows down again.
Hopefully someone knows the reason.?
