    Reviewing 3.9.7 (Aug 27, 2011)

    I don't think I've ever uninstalled anything so quickly. I used to use this, then it was never updated and I was excited to see some activity again.

    This new version, as soon as I clicked on "custom" it popped up a list of software to download, and reading through it I realized I'd seen it all before and didn't like any of it. Then after clicking "Finish" it said I hadn't clicked on anything and wanted to know "would you like us to select some for you?" and then I couldn't leave it on my system because it just made me feel dirty.

    Does nothing good for me, "advanced prefetching" doesn't seem to work at all. It actually slows down Firefox for me, by making page loads hang. Could be an extension conflict, I don't care to diagnose... All the stupid "tweaks" this thing does have been in my user.js file for eons anyway.

    A very nice Velocity Center (sounds nicer than Speed HQ!).
    I'm still careful with the 'Advanced Prefetching' option. I haven't encountered any problems yet, but I do turn it off on moody days: issues are said to be experience related...
