Don't know whether this is common knowledge or not but there is an Easy trick to speed up your Browsing whilst using Firefox. :cool:

Open Firefox.
Type about:config in the addy bar.
Type network in the Filter box.
Double click network.http.pipelining & set it to TRUE.
Double click pipelining.maxrequests & set value to 10.

Your pages will load Much faster now, Enjoy. :cool:

The problem is that some sites do not work well with so many requests.

FF3 is pretty nippy anyway :)

Setting it any higher than 8 won't do much, it can only do 8 regardless of what you set the number to.

Although, I was under the impression this didn't do a lot since v2.0 anyway.

Well, people have been using it for well over 2 years now, I have at any rate, so if the web was going to break, I suspect it would have done so by now :P

Some sites might break with that setting. Most will be fine. Go for it. :)

And Happy Birthday divine. :)

Alternative suggestion: Install the FasterFox add on, then be nice to web hosts by switching it to RFC compatible mode.

Is there a new version of that anywhere?

I had it and it got disabled because it's not compatible with FF3, or at least one of the subsequent releases.

Running it quite happily under FF3 at home :)

I'll have to look around for a new version then because it's disabled itself and claims to not run under 3.0.10

Hmmm. I guess there is vaguely a chance I bypassed the disable messages as I'm oft inclined to do (registered people can). Nevertheless, it's working fine ;D

There is a version (2.0.0 - April 20th 2009) of FasterFox that claims to work with Firefox v3 HERE (http://www.mediafire.com/?eoynznjxitg); personally, I haven't tried it; at the moment, I am quite content with the "off-the-shelf" Firefox + NoScript, AdBlock & the British English Dictionary :)
