I have already spoken of how to make your Firefox load faster than ever, thanks to a couple of simple tricks. However, if you are not into tweaking your applications because you are not a big geek and you prefer to rely on applications which “almost” work out-of-the-box, here is a nice script which can be quite useful to you.
UPX is a simple but powerful file which, by compressing the DLLs and executables, is able to boost your Firefox startup. Here is the simple procedure to achieve this incredible result:
- Download the UPX file here.
- Now, turn off Firefox.
- Extract and put the UPX.exe file into your Firefox folder which usually is located under C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox.
- Now, click Start.
- In the Search Box (in Windows Vista), type cmd and press Enter.
- You should now be in the command prompt black window.
- Locate your Firefox folder. To do that type cd.. and press Enter. Again, type cd.. and press Enter. At this point you should be in the main root (C:\).
- Now go on and type, cd Program Files and hit Enter. Now, type cd Mozilla Firefox.
- Now you should be in the Firefox main folder.
- At this point type: for %v in (*.exe *.dll components\*.dll plugins\*.dll) do upx “C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\%v” and hit Enter.
- Done!

I kept getting FileNotFoundExceptions.
I had to use the following command for it to work.
for %v in (*.exe *.dll components\*.dll plugins\*.dll) do upx C:\Progra~1\Mozill~1\%v

i did not understand the meaning of ” for %v in (*.exe *.dll components\*.dll plugins\*.dll) do upx “C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\%v” and hit Enter. ”
what do you mean by this?
