Hey.

Get this extension: -

CustomizeGoogle - This is awesome, it allows you to remove the crappy ads at the side of your search and integrate "google suggest" into the google homepage. As well as a load of other features.

Look into M$'s QoS, you'll see that M$ limits is own applications internet bandwidth, including IE's for MP! Normally about 20% is reserved. hence the sudden jump when using a different browser.

Oh my...

Wow.

Just did all that. And wow. I'm stunned (although my computer crawls when Firefox is busy - after all, it's just opening more threads from the CPU). My downloads have finally started reaching potential... Whether or not it is because of this, who knows, but suddenly I'm downloading from .com's at 220KB/s, rather than 50.

Shizzle.

You mean firefox doesn't support activeX, so any spyware using that doesn't work.

The PSP browser came out today too. Dunno how this will block syware or viruses though.

firefox blocks alot of spyware that IE just lets through it's well worth using.

Might get this since IE on my other comp is crashing everytime i hit the back button. :S

Bit out of date, 1.0.6 wen't live last Thursday.

Not sure if i posted this before or if anyone else has:

Type “about:config” into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:

network.http.pipelining network.http.proxy.pipelining network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.

2. Alter the entries as follows:

Set “network.http.pipelining” to “true”

Set “network.http.proxy.pipelining” to “true”

Set “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.

3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set its value to “0”. This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives.

This will speed uploading of pages if you're using a boardband connection.
