For all you Firefox users out there who think that this wed browser's a little slow in loading pages, check this out:

How To Speed Up Firefox (2007)

It's actually working, for me anyway. You might want to give it a try. Post back if it works.

Man,it needs to be going some to speed that thing up!!
I'll give it a miss i ditched it months ago.

I totally understand what you're saying. I was about to ditch this web browser myself in favor of Opera browser, which seemed quite a bit faster, but I'm not quite used to it, considering all of Firefox's plug-ins and stuff, so I'm kinda using both of them. I figured that those who prefer Firefox might want a bit more of a boost in loading pages, that's pretty much why I posted this.

Yeah,I found Firefox couldnt render this site properly because its a long page full of images etc.

Plus it was very slow in other ways.
I cant understand why folk rave about FF i think its poor,so i use another Trident based browser
or IE7.
Hey i cant see myself getting shut of VLC though, its top rate

all you need are a few addons.

and VLC still can\'t boast of the status of Kaffine though

I found a more recent "How to" for boosting FireFox's Speed. There are many more tweaks in here then there were in the previous link.

How To Speed Up Firefox

I noticed that foxy is much faster on ubuntu compared to winXP...

YES! I finally learnt to connect to the internet in ubuntu and my switch linux is complete... I will be unrivalled by cloudstalker in the linux forum

So does that mean the tweaks don't work or wouldn't help on you machine? 'If it ain't broke why not make it better?'

YES! I finally learnt to connect to the internet in ubuntu and my switch linux is complete... I will be unrivalled by cloudstalker in the linux forum

I think if you make one or two posts in the Linux topic you would end up surpassing me, remember though that CloudStalker is unrivaled everywhere else.

Who's this CloudStalker?

actually, It wil just result in my posts seen in bold, and no ugly green text saying cloudstalker in the forum I use...

PS: no offence mate
