1.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.
Also set browser.turbo.enabled "True"
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.

I've been using it for almost a year now, and I think I've encountered fewer pop-ups in that entire time than I did in just the last hour of using Explorer.

Good thing Deaf brought that up again, cause my friend's kids were messing with my computer and cleared all my passwords and links I had :mad:.
I saw there's a possibility to change the mousewheel settings as well, what's the best? I wanna be really good at this (http://www.minijuegos.com/juegos/jugar.php?id=3453).

Why is it that this website won't load properly using Firefox?
I get the 'Done' message, then I have to click 'Reload'.
It's wierd. :confused:

has anyone after downloading firefox : I don't have IE anymore?? So I can't get microsoft updates?
I didn't remove IE.
Firefox rocks fasts , worms or that crap.
Only thing is if I hit the stop butten most of the time It becomes non-responcive.
it's as good as this (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/scalia/P1010135.jpg)
