Firefox tweaks I did them and it most definitely does seem faster. I make no warranties - but perhaps out IT people here can help. Thought I would throw this out there...

I used to have a specific forum that always took a good amount of time to load - no so anymore. Digging the tweaks.
ETA: Les - you will love this: I randomly selected a certain thread that is picture intensive - loads pages full of pictures at a speed I never saw before - MUCH faster.

the tweaks will speed up Firefox but they won't help the speed at which a website uploads to the web. Some sites are just slow.

oops, just reset them. If it screws up you can fix it when you come at Easter.

My FF is already pretty quick,does it get just a little quicker with these tweaks, or smoking fast? Seems like a lot of tinkering, I wonder if there is a downside?

Does it only speed up FF or IE also? Screen said any changes would void my warranty. Warranty is already out dated so I went ahead and changed the stuff.
So Les, you think it might help speed up my netbook, or is that a problem from the wireless?

Did it and if I have a lot of tabs open makes a big difference.
I have broadband and am very quick normally anyway but I do see some improvement.
Thanks for the link to the info.

My FF was pretty darn good as well, but it is much faster with the tweaks. I really don't see a downside. If you mess something up just re-install FF. Mike

Only takes a few minutes. Does seem noticeably faster.

WAY COOL Teal, Thanks a million Sir.
