The Solution Rating System
|
|
| With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating. - The Grade of the Solution
- The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
- The Number of Author and Expert Comments
- The Number of Experts Contributing
- The Feedback of the Community
Your Input Matters Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site. If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support. Thank you! |

Asked by brian2k1 in Web Browsers, Firefox Web Browser
Firefox on my XP and Vista machine, both using the same profile after copying them and keeping it in sync, is extremely slow on startup. It happened in the past anytime my file server at 192.168.100.100 was shutdown or offline in anyway. The solution was to simply turn it back on. Recently this past week I had to change the ip address to 192.168.1.100 and so all the references to the original ip had to be changed. This of course makes fifefox think it's offline and the slow startup behavior reappeared.
I don't have a clue why firefox knows the file server is offline but I know it is causing the slow startup behavior. I originally started disabling and then uninstalling the add-ons I had installed. nothing changed. I then uninstalled the network printers installed (thinking firefox was pinging the network for printers or something), nothing changed. What DID work is creating a new blank profile. So something in the profile is referencing the old file server ip and causing firefox to open the first web page slowly. It does this on popup as well and makes surfing a pain.
I'm looking for a solution to fixing my original profile and not just using the new one.
