In some sites, especially Facebook, I've a slow image loading. For example, when I search for a person on Facebook, then the profile image of poeple takes 6-7 secons to load. I've installed Firefox yesterday, so I exclude that I have to delete cookies, etc. With Chrome, Facebook load images much more faster. Re-installing shockwave, the loading is faster, but not enough. Any suggestions?

After looking around a bit, I found an add-on called FastestFox. You can find the add-on here: FastestFox. I haven't done too much research to the actual add-on itself, but after installing it in Firefox myself and using the Facebook person searcher I noticed the images and also other things like websites loading a lot faster.

I hope this add-on helps you.

Edit: The add-on adds some extra options when you right click a website (to download things from the website). You have to decide if you think this is worth the extra speed.
