Quick as a Fox

Over at BeBits there's some buzz as people download and try out a modded up version of Firefox titled QuickFox.

As Mr X. makes us aware in the patch notes:

QuickFox is a 'mod' of mozilla/firefox bleeding edge.

From order of importance:
Speed, Useability, Looks, Reliability.

It runs and loads in a RAMfilesystem.

It sports a fully automatic Installation that will take care of everything for you. Includes auto setup on boot and shutdown to save your settings.

Version 2 of the modded Firefox makes use of a new skin, is smaller in size (good for your modem users), has increased back/forward navigation speed and loads quicker. A net_server build is slated for later development, once Mr X. finds the time.

Be sure to drop a note in the Talkback if you have an issue. Mr X. has been quick to respond, and I'm sure he would welcome the feedback.
