Besides, they don't seem to be affecting him anyway. Not to say that he shouldn't get rid of them.

Pretty much anything illegal has potential, too.

There are some flaws in this test too. Did the websites have the exact same size? What internet speed did you use? Was it shared internet speed? These factors decide pretty much too if you're going to test the browser's speed.

We already did those ones, it's the others that are the problem.
Same website, so, unless I'm wrong, it's the same size, and it was my internet speed the whole time, without anyone sharing the connection at the same time. Of course, the ISP could have had varying speeds, but they were done early in the morning close to the same time.
As Hakker said, the things I didn't take into account are the things that potentially flaw these results.

Also, how could you be sure it was exact internet speed the whole time? If you have a router which you use to tv and phones, you'll share the speed anyway, and even if it says you can go to 100b/sec(which is in my case), you share, and might at the best go to around 40b/sec up since tv and phones takes up so much of the internet connection.

Nobody else was online at the time. I've already said this. Parents weren't awake, and neither was my brother.

Also, you bumped it >_<.

I've heard about that, but it never actually happened to me in the time I was using Firefox.

if it closes down randomly, you have to re-start computer to make it work again. happened to me more times than I could count on my fingers...

Or learn how to use the task manager to shut down firefox manually..

What? When you have parents who think they can use the internet, you learn how to make quick fixes to the stupid s*** they do.
