Re: I now like Firefox!
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

Re: I now like Firefox!
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.

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

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