@aditya: Is the upx.exe present in the firefox directory?
If not then place it in the firefox Directory.

Hello Ed,

I agree that When you run the compressed EXE files, there will be decompression taking place before the program is launched. However, this decompression process is so fast that you may not notice the difference. Sometimes, the program may even launch faster than in the original state.

And this my own practical experience that the load time of Firefox which was 8-12 sec on my Intel Core 2 Duo 2Ghz Processor is now 4-6 secs only after compressing the exe and DLL.

Still if you feel that the load time has not decreased you may reverse the process by using the following command:

for %v in (*.exe *.dll components\*.dll plugins\*.dll) do upx -d “C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\%v”

If the executables are compressed, they will need to be decompressed at load time. Once they are decompressed, application execution will happen normally. This will not reduce any load time, but it will increase it.
