Yup i was - but if you do the following Firefox will actually render a hell of a lot faster.

I stole it from some site somewhere else who's name i have forgotten. (Saved as a Txt file on my PC). Incidentally i use it and it works.

Here's something for broadband people that will really speed Firefox up:

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.

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.

If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages MUCH faster now!

Setting it to 30 is a good way to kill servers - and we don't want to do that do we :)

Firefox > IE. Sums it up really.

Not sure what you mean, the Gecko engine is capable of more advanced CSS than any other browser engine ever built and has no bugs. :confused:

I've not tried it, but that just seems to do the same as what was described above, just in a nice user-friendly option.

You wouldn't know what to look for.
Example of things that Firefox displays nicely but IE doesn't.

What am I supposed to look for? Everything seems aligned on this.

EDIT: Added image in to show what it looks like.

Can't comment on any other aspect(apart from resuming downloads) as I frankly am not that much of a geek. ;)

Incog.Going to go back and put in all the frames I left out.

Welcome, sistah! :D
