Glad it worked for you. I love usin Firefox and I always keep up on things to make it work even better.

You think Firefox is fast the way it comes? Try this out... I am a computer nerd part time


Make sure and dl the new update today if you have not allready. Also, you may also find this interesting, I just did it and Im glad I did.

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 recieves.

If you're using a brodband connection you'll load pages AT LEAST 2-3 times faster now.

I second that. Firefox is the best thing to come out since canned beer. Tabbed browsing + ZERO spyware is just awsome (just to name a few cool features)

Edited for correction----

EASIEST way to do it is simply hold down the CTRL key and scroll DOWN with your mouse.
