TenFourFox 17. This is normal, but once it's started, it should
work alright and fast. 24.5.0 shouldn't take longer to start than,
e.g. 24.4.0; if it does, I can't explain why. Also I can't explain
the bouncing behavior in the dock. If at all, the browser should
show this behavior only once, viz. when starting for the first time
after it was updated to a new version.</p>
<p>If you notice general slowness, especially with apps that need
lots of RAM (like TenFourFox): Your Mac mini is very short on RAM.
While TFF will run with 512 MB, we recommend 1 GB.</p></div>Chris (chtrusch)tag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/328286412014-05-04T19:22:42Z2014-05-04T19:22:42ZMy present version of TenFourFox is remarkably slower to start than the previous ones.<div><p>The icon behaviour Alberto is describing can also occur when the
browser is installing an update to a theme or add-on that requires
a restart. It's entirely possible the system has a stuck update
that is failing to complete; one idea is manually deleting and
re-installing all addons and themes. A profile reset is never a bad
idea either.</p>
<p>That said, Chris is right: 512MB will certainly not perform as
well as 1GB of RAM, and is the minimum we support. The G4 mini will
accept a 1GB RAM stick and both the browser and Tiger will run
dramatically better.</p></div>Cameron Kaisertag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/328286412014-05-04T19:36:51Z2014-05-04T19:36:52ZMy present version of TenFourFox is remarkably slower to start than the previous ones.<div><p>Yes you are right,<br>
Once it started it is as fast as before. As for the little amount
of RAM,<br>
my Mac mini is rather old (Apple does not support it any longer)
and I<br>
don't know if it is worth while to change the 512 GB RAM stick with
a 1 GB<br>
one. Maybe I had better buy a new one, but I am still fond of it (I
am<br>
always using it even if I could use my daughter's old PC which is
more<br>
powerful (2.8 GHz Pentium R dual core and 2 GB of RAM Windows Xp
Pro and<br>
Linux Mint in dual boot).<br>
