Whats the Firefox tweak...

That changes how your page is drawn, i.e it gets drawn as it gets the info rather than waiting for the page to be downloaded completely?

The reason i ask is that i block access to ad sites using PeerGuardian2 but the browser waits and waits sometimes to pull the banners before it realises its not coming and times-out, then it displays the page.

Any ideas?

Nope,
In the URL: bar at the top (where you type in www.anything.com) just type about:config and hit return.

Prefs.js according to chromeedit (it say's I don't have a user.js for some reason), though it'll probably need adding manually.

Re: Whats the Firefox tweak...

I'm pretty sure they removed this in 1.0.2 but you can still try.

Re: Whats the Firefox tweak...

Make a user.js file and settings in it are applied everytime you boot firefox. Once you've changed initialpaint it will then appear permanently in about:config

Re: Whats the Firefox tweak...

You have to add it yourself, just load about:config and load it from there.

And it will still make a difference even in 1.0.4
