Is this going to speed up Firefox? but how? what does that option change? I remember a while back I read somewhere how to speed up Internet Explorer and it was something similar, but what it really did, it was just using all the resourses of a server of the website you were browsing, and then storing all the graphics of that website so next time you go to it loads faster, but a lot of websites the servers didn't allow you to use that "use all resourses" thing, I'm just wondering if this is the same, if it is I don't recomend using this.

this is for broadband users only!!

ive already done the tweak ages ago. believe me, it works a treat. it really does work, pages do load 2/3 times faster.

try it if you have firefox and you are on broadband. you really will be amazed.

however, if you have dial up, DONT do it as it will have the opposite effect.

ElBandoneonWEbsite, this tweak isnt the same as that - just to clear things up.

as indicated in a recent post in neowin, although these "hack" will speed up firefox a little, it has side effects, some websites may not generate properly and the paint delay hurt servers.

want to speed up firefox? wait for version 1.1.

Firefox is definately my favorite browser. There are so many things about it that make it better than Internet Explorer. The tabbing feature makes surfing a lot easier in that it keeps all of your opened links in convenient tabs below the address bar. This gets rid of the need for several windows. Also, the built-in downloader allows you to pause and/or resume downloads. The most important thing about Firefox is that it is one of the most secure browsers out there (much more secure than IE) and USERS of the program help to update it. Oh ya, and isn't Firefox a hot name?

The above is the quick method. If you want to tweak it even further, this page is very informative:

You can select certain performance settings based on your connection and processing speed, for example.

And this really does appear to work, however: the method detailed in all of these posts shortens the time taken to load the first bit of the page. The overall page loading time, however, is considerably decreased. I don't notice this being a problem, though.

My advice would be just to try it, and see if you like it you can always revert back to the old settings afterwards, obviously.

I have a question, does Firefox take more place on my computer if I use these settings ? Does it store data on my computer ?
