Here's a nice speed booster for all you FireFox fans (if you have high-speed interenet):

Type "about:config" into your address bar (click "I'll be Careful).

Find the settings below and change them:

- network.http.pipelining > TRUE
- network.http.pipelining.maxrequests > 100
- network.http.proxy.pipelining > TRUE

Then, right click anywhere, and select New > Integer.
- nglayout.initialpaintdelay > 0

Then go browsing some crazy pages like www.yahoo.com and www.msn.com and feel the power!

Basically, pipelining allows the browser to send multiple requests and receive information through multiple threads, while the initialpaintdelay forces the browser to wait 0ms before sending a request.
 
Well... IPconfig

I have mine set to 20. But 100 seems a little faster i find :D
 
There is any version of firefox 3 64 bits?
 
Was there ever a 64bit Firefox?
 
Awesome, cant wait to grab it. Hopefully their minefield (64 bit browser) is alot better this time around. I hope the download I did click from the main news posting is for 64 bit.

L:laugh:L
what are the benefits of 64bit in a "simple" web browser???
bigger cache than 4 GB in the main memory? :D :banghead:
 
So is it any good? Are there bugs? Does Adblock work? Have no problems with 2.0.0.14 so I'm not in a hurry to 'downgrade' :) Maybe I'll wait for OS re-install, have to install everything again, so might as well go newer.
 
well with 3 out i guess its time to upgrade from 1.5 though i will miss it, it served me well
 
I already downloaded it... twice. The final is basically RC3 (same hash, same everything)

Yes, same build (2008052906)... But I still downloaded it again, for the record ;)
 
got 3 computers in the house and i think all 3 of them are running on RC3, but hey a download doesn't hurt.
 
Wow the "about:mozilla" quote has changed too :D lol

bus wide with 64 bits read more bits than 32 bits... I think it's a little faster ;)
