I use Firefox almost all the time, except when working with my Control Panel and FTP (I'm forced to use Internet Explorer since it accepts two seperate lines, one for the loging and the other for the password). At phpBB.com, people post about bug reports and security issues all the time. Everyone can find it here: www.phpbb.com/bugs and www.phpbb.com/security

I'm very skeptical when it comes to changing code, or even adding mods to forums since it can quite often compromise some level of security. Is there any way of knowing that this code is safe? I know it's short and very brief, but still... I'm just cautious.

here are some firefox tweaks

for all type 'about:config' in the address slot

enable pipelining (by default the browser sends one request to a site by enabling pipelining it can send user defined number)]

find 'network.http.pipelining'  double click it so that value becomes 'true'
find 'network.http.proxy.pipelining' double click to set the value to 'true'
define number of request to send

find 'network.http.pipelining.maxrequests' set value from 15 to 30 depending on your net speed (using abnormally high values for low speed connection might actually slow you down)

turbo browsing tweak

find 'browser.turbo.enabled' double click to set its value to 'true'
finally my last tweak is to reduce the rendering time, by default the browser waits for sometime before it shows the data it recieves...by this tweak you will reduce this time to zero

right click anywhaere and select new>integer
write the following preference name 'nglayout.initialpaint.delay' and set its value to '0' (zero)
See any change in the speed....
Lemme know?

nice tricies

and fire fox owned so *BLEEP*ing hard. almost no spyware (what u can't say about Iexplorer)

i have had some problems with FF not acting the same as IE6 on some websites.
if you log onto one of these websites with FF , then select tools/java script console , it will show you the script errors found when logging onto the website.
for example when logging on to trap17 with FF it generates this error ...

Error: unterminated string literal
Source File: http://www.trap17.com/forums/
Line: 691, Column: 10
Source Code:
str = str+'70&profile_id=45">

fortunately this error doesnt seem to affect the appearance of the webpage.
other webpages with more serious script errors stop FF from displaying all or parts of a webpage which then affect the user functionality of the webpage.

i suppose you could forward the errors to the owners of the webpage and hope that they sort out their script errors so that the webpage functions correctly in FF.

6. Firefox Hack: Enable Inline Autocomplete - completes what you're typing (12)

   Inline complete in Firefox (or anywhere) is basically completing what you're typing. So say
   I'm typing goog in my address bar. If I enable inline autocomplete, Firefox will show
   google.com in my address bar because it's the closest one in my history. It's sort of like
   Google Suggest. To enable this awesome feature, type about:config in the address bar of your
   Firefox. Then, right click anywhere on the page, go to New -> Boolean. For the preference name,
   enter browser.urlbar.autoFill , and set it to True. You're done! To test it, go to you...
