Damn, i don't know why i didn't start using this sooner it is way faster than sbc's web browser. I believe i will use it exclusively.

On this machine, I use Camino, which is the same engine as Firefox, but optimized for OS X.

I have found that IE is faster that Fire Fox here.

I personally would love to experience ALL the things that the web has to offer - not just some.

I'm sticking w/ IE, but my roomate loves Fire Fox...

I like Firefox because of the tabs you can use. With IE I end up having 5 windows open at a time which is a PITA.

This was posted by one of the admins on one of my forums:

How to make FireFox Faster
This is simple. Works wonders really.

Want Firefox to run 2/3 times faster? Course you do. Read on...

Here's something for broadband (will have the opposite effect for 56kers) 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: (by double clicking them)

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 broadband connection you'll load pages 2-3 times faster now. I swear it works, pages are loaded in a split second for me now. Very Happy



Thats it.
