I’ve been noticing a slowdown with my Mozilla Firefox browser. Initially, I assumed that it was due to an overload of add-ons, so I decided to weed some out. But, the startup time was still not satisfactory. So, I started doing some research and stumbled upon an extension known as Vacuum Places Improved.

The add-on defragments your browser’s “Places” database, which contains all of your bookmarks and history. It claims to reduce the startup time of your browser and reduce any text input lag in the address bar. Even automatic cleaning is included.

So far, it seems to be working pretty nicely and I have no complaints. Try it out and see how it affects your browsing experience.
