Experimental addon shifts Firefox's awesome bar into overdrive (Download Squad)

May 8th 2009 4:04PM It reads the data from the disk off of the main thread, so you'll see a big win on systems that have a slow disk. In general, it just makes the application more responsive while results are obtained.

The current version of the add-on does have a problem if you find your result quickly though and select it. You may experience a hang after selecting it. However, I know how to fix this, and you won't need the test add-on in the release after Firefox 3.5. The work is being tracked in Bug 455555 [1] if anyone is interested.
