Note: The one posted here is not the same thing. This one has been tested and increases the speed, an update to perform these same steps is avalailable on the mozilline.org forums as well.

Can you please tell what these FIREFOX TWEAKS do exactly. I would like to know if I am not screwing up anything important with these tweaks. Firefox is my primary browser ;-)
Do you have any more firefox tweaks ? |

These types of tweaks are available a lot on the internet now a days. Although in this thread one or two things seems new but I would also like to know more about them as Opaque has asked so that I not do anything wrong to my firefox.

QUOTE(solanky @ Sep 11 2005, 01:23 PM) These types of tweaks are available a lot on the internet now a days. Although in this thread one or two things seems new but I would also like to know more about them as Opaque has asked so that I not do anything wrong to my firefox.  It's called back-ups!  Well, I'm brave enough to do it.... I just need to back-up my bookmarks as that is my pride and joy in Firefox!  [N]F Ok, everything is running smooth!  It really did speed things up even for a junky dial-up connection! I notice a HUGE speed increase... seems perfectly safe to me... I'm not lying either... the main forum page for me can take maybe ~15 seconds to load, this took like ~5-7 seconds! [N]F |

I'm wondering if this might in anyways affect and help me if I have broadband? Cause I can't tell if it's faster or not on mine haha. I hope it doesn't make it slower, that would be bad, but it seems it's just doing nothing I guess to hurt or help. I don't know, broadband's hard to tell unless it's a very heavy site with lots of images and stuff that would take at least 30 seconds to load or something if it was there.

I would be very cautious with anything that has "about:" in front of it. Please recall the browser hijacker "about:blank"

Fasterfox exactly does what those tweaks do - but along with that it adds in its own enhanced prefetching tool, which sits in the background and keeps fetching bits and pieces of content from the links in your current page and stuffs it into the cache. Thus by the time you finish with one page and click on a link on it - the next page is already partially loaded making it seem load even faster.
