There is an excellent new feature available in a nightly build of Firefox which speeds up web browsing hugely.

Earlier today bryner landed his "bfcache" patch, a set of changes to cache DOM presentation information in the browser. What does this mean to you and our users? With the feature enabled in Firefox, where before the browser needed to re-render each page from a local cache of documents, now when you click back and forward the most recently viewed pages appear instantly!

Believe me, it's
quick - much quicker than the Google Accelerator so I'm using this instead of it.
- Grab this build:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.o....installer.exe
- Uninstall Firefox
- Install the new one
- Open this thread in IE
- Type "about:config" into the Firefox address bar
- Right click in the main window, select New Key > Integer
- Enter "browser.sessionhistory.max_viewers" for the pref name, press Enter then type "5" and hit Enter
- Restart Firefox!
Disclaimer - nightly builds can be buggy, if this does anything it's not supposed to - don't come crying to me.
