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.

Cool, wonder if they only work with the Windows version. Les

Seems to work on the Linux version. Les

What is a "right click?"








Just kidding.

Holy crap!! It really works. Thanks teal.

What tweaks are you speaking of? Les, you didn't tell me about any tweaks? Your fired!

Never mind I just saw the click thingy, teal. Les your still fired!

I don't usually use tweaks.

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.

I've got to say smoking fast. 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.

Only takes a few minutes. Does seem noticeably faster.

Geez, that's tough love. Fire your son then make him play IT dweeb when he comes home?

WAY COOL Teal, Thanks a million Sir.

Typical, but what can I do?

Gotta get some of that education money back from him somehow!

I think it helped my FF out too..
Thanks!

Those tweaks really makes my netbook move along now. Thanks.

Thanks teal, works great.

Seems faster. Sweet, thanks teal!!

I just did all the tweaks too and they work great. Thanks for sharing Teal

Wow - blast from the past but try this -

ctrl+shift+T - it opens your last closed tab (again)

Blew my mind.

Thanks. Big improvement

Sorry to resurrect an old post, but when it says you may have to create a new integer or string, how do you know which to use when?

just found this thread..tried the "tricks", and they sure did speed up my surfing with no problems! thanks!
