"Yes, firefox is already pretty damn fast but did you know that you can tweak it and improve the speed even more?

That's the beauty of this program being open source.
Here's what you do:
In the URL bar, type “about:config” and press enter. This will bring up the configuration “menu” where you can change the parameters of Firefox.

Note that these are what I’ve found to REALLY speed up my Firefox significantly - and these settings seem to be common among everybody else as well. But these settings are optimized for broadband connections - I mean with as much concurrent requests we’re going to open up with pipelining… lol… you’d better have a big connection.

Double Click on the following settins and put in the numbers below - for the true / false booleans - they’ll change when you double click.

Code:
browser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs – true
network.http.max-connections – 48
network.http.max-connections-per-server – 16
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy – 8
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server – 4
network.http.pipelining – true
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests – 100
network.http.proxy.pipelining – true
network.http.request.timeout – 300


One more thing… Right-click somewhere on that screen and add a 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 receives. Since you’re broadband - it shouldn’t have to wait.

Now you should notice you’re loading pages MUCH faster now!"
no you dont understand heres the thing:

- everytime i start pc, run firefox it loads, the auto-closes, giving me an error (to send or not + restart FF) so yea i wait like 2 min then it opens
- after that trying to type the site, it just stopps and lags for some time
- after you close FF and want to open again, it says its already open+gtfo (ctrl+alt+del = close it)


- why i aint wanna reinstall it?

cuz i have 2much good links (over9000) and they will dissapear and i doubt it will help so yea..

p.s i have written all thouse commands when i installed it

Minefield > all, srlsy, no shit
i changed from firefox to mozilla 1 month ago, and i can say that both are good. first i thought mozilla is better but it was because some things changed and i didn't use different funktions. all in all i can say that both are good, they have some differents but in the end both do the same :>
Quotei changed from firefox to mozilla


wat
Parent
mozilla in this case i think me means the netscape evolution. netscape -> mozilla and firefox at that time was just a work in progress. it was pretty cack, dunno if they continued it
Parent
from firefox to mozilla? wat

Why don't you fix your errors etc if you like Firefox?

opera > firefox in my browsing experience
Opera 10 (Alpha) is the only browser gets a perfect score in Acid3 test:

For those that don’t know, the Acid3 test checks web browsers for compliance with web standards and scores them out of 100. Those standards include such things as DOM, DOM2, CSS, HTML tables and forms.
