who doesn't want a faster browser?!

works wonders...i set mine to 20...gotta love firefox

[Gongshow11 1]

i dotn get how its faster, i set mine to 20 too, dont see much difference

I had half of that done from another time, but just finished doing the other steps. I had mine set to 32. It gets faster because it allows more requests in at one time.

[Gongshow11 1]

I think it become a security risk, the higher the number.

it's actually bad for whatever server you're trying to get requests from, because it basically gives the server a lot of orders rather than just a couple so your orders are more likely to be processed faster since there's just more of them.

been there, done that. Firefox actually slows down the more you use it.

Renabling the HTTP pipelining can dramatically improve networking performance. The reason it's not enabled by default, is that it can prevent Web pages from displaying correctly. If you've enabled this, and you find pages that aren't displaying correctly, only blame yourself.

Unless the Trojan got in through the huge security whole in Firefox 1.0.3, or you downloaded in somewhere, following those steps wont lead to a trojan.

So is this worth doing or not?

You seem to know alot about Firefox...mayeb you can answer a question for me. I can't seem to get it to update. I get the message every now and then that updates are available, and if I click it, it opens a box like it is going to download but it just sits there...I've left it for like 10-15 minutes and the progress bar never moves.

I suppose I could go right to the site and re-download the newer version...but I want to know why the auto upgrade doesn't work.
