oh boo hoo, a firefox reload, just back up your bookmarks. live on the edge !
- brains0
this is why we all use multiple browsers.. juuuust in case.

firefox usage is living on the edge? really? whoah. must stop basejumping then and start surfing the net with firefox then! harcore dangerous living! :)
firefox on mac sucks big times anyways. so does safari. but less as firefox.

i'm happy it's standard disabled though. i mean if you understand it, like you, you'd use all browsers as you said anyways, and you're aware. but imagine if standard household users would do it? helpdesking would be a nightmare.

man, I worked doing roadrunner helpdesk for 8 months. THAT, my friend, was a nightmare.

mwahahhaaa.... i know what that means. did that a long time ago as well. really realized that 90% of the people have no idea what they're doing.

Details brains? It didn't work! Nothing. Most websites "contained no data" and I know it's not the servers.
Win2k, pc.
Not only did it not work, but it musta fucked with TCP/IP or something because my entire internet connection went dead until I undid the changes and rebooted....
I had the same issues with the last FF hack.

win xp old ff old hack no probs

haha.
hm. actually it's a quote from customers that I used to help while doing tech support for RoadRunner. But much thanks for the concern.

SWEET. Super fast, hahaha crazy fast. Anyone know if you can do the same to Safari.

AFAIR the old hack was only about pipelining. This seems new: "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and it gave my ff additional speed - no probs yet, W2000SP4
BTW there's a FF 1.01 update

I did them too, there's another thread around here from months ago with those tricks. Made a huge difference.

Don't forget to set browser.turbo.enabled to true. No kidding.

this probably would work great at home BUT not here at work. They track how often you visit sites and stuff... if when you visit a site you're telling Firefox to make 30 connects to load faster... good lord I can just imagine how many hits the office would record for a day. No thanks, I don't want NT to get blocked at work :)

There's a new one
Set
cowbell.more.enabled
to true
It really makes a difference!
- D_Dot0
hehe, I got a fever and the only cure is more cowbell.
