Firefox Question

[Maynard the Hammer]

hey all. i remember when the new version of firefox came out, there was a thread about it. inside somebody posted some ways to alter the script and speed up the browser.

i dont think the page list goes back that far 'cause i couldnt find the original thread. i had to reinstall firefox, so if anyone here knows how to do it, please post it here to help a fellow PH addict out and anyone else who may have missed it.

thanks

I went to this thread to speed up my FF (I need to do it again) however when I type config into my browser as directed, I am redirected to a mozilla website. Can anyone help?

1. Type about:config into the address bar and hit return.

2. Alter the entries as follows (by double clicking each entry):

Set network.To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. to 48

Set network.To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. to 24

Set network.To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. to 12

Set network.To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. to 6

Set network.To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. to true

Set network.To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. to true

Set network.To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. to 8. Any more and you may get banned from the site visited, as it may be viewed as DOS attack. Try a higher value say upto 32 but be prepared to lower the value if sites fail to load.

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 recieves.

If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages 2-3 times faster now, even if a dial-up connection it will still be faster than before.

I have been having horrible problem with Firefox and Camino on Mac. Often...(a few times a week), the program will lock up and go into a 'thinking mode' and not come out of it.

I am beginning to dislike Firefox LOTS

Just wondered if anybody remembers the movie 'Firefox' with Clint Eastwood :peace:

No seriously... Anyone know how I get into the config for Firefox?

No seriously... Anyone know how I get into the config for Firefox?
typing about:config in the address bar has always worked for me...
