Re: [FireFox] Tweaking Firefox for Fun & Speed

Thanks GK. A great set of tweaks.

I installed them all except the two relating to "network.dnsCache.....", which I have set to "0" because I'm using AnalogX's FastCache to store my DNS requests, and I can tell a world of difference.

BTW, the way you have them grouped would suggest the items in each group are related to each other in some way. Are there any notes that can be attached to each group to indicate what each group does?

EDIT: Added "BTW..."

Re: [FireFox] Tweaking Firefox for Fun & Speed

Your all welcome.

The explanations for what each item does is located here:

»kb.mozillazine.org/Category:Twea···ferences

I just have been changing parameters and testing until I found the optimal settings that work well on various types of broadband connections.

Usually the tweaks are listed for:

fast computer/slower connection
fast computer/fast connection

and so on and so forth.
--------------
That was time consuming when applying the tweaks for friends and family members with different types of computers and connections so I attempted to find a happy medium which is what I posted.

Thanks Sir Raleigh for the AnalogX's FastCache tip. I am now using it and it works great. Also, thanks to Grail Knight for the tweaks.
