JARs not compressed in PFF?Kolya - December 11, 2005 - 6:02pm
The title says it all. While changing my PFF context menu in firefox\chrome\browser.jar I noticed the JAR wasn't compressed. It dropped from 1.101KB to 337KB after zipping. »

Compression Dropped in Favor of Update
JAR, EXE and DLL compression was dropped from the 1.5 release. The reason is the updater. The built-in 1.5 updater can apply binary patches. So, rather than downloading a new 1.5.1 when a security issue is addressed, Firefox automatically applies a small patch and keeps on going. By dropping compression, we grow 8MB size-wise, but gain the ability to do auto-update, keeping everyone nice and secure.
As for what to chose: Chose MP3
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Ah okay, neato. I'll just
Ah okay, neato. I'll just store the files back in the JAR then.
Thanks for the great work you're doing with the portable apps.
And a nice site you got here... I take it it's drupal powered?
You really gave me an idea when I first discovered PFF and I look out for portability wherever I download now.
FF will work slower!
If we zip the files FF will work slower. So I think un-ziping them will be much better
I use P3-600 64mb ram. I really feel the un-ziping time
