I'm totally new at this... can you tell where I can put those codes?
As of now, IE works better and faster for me (although I have problems with the status bar). I have a problem viewing some javascripts in Firefox.
BTW, you can also use the Tweak Network Settings extension to achieve the same effect.![]()
please read the site thoroughly, the instructions are there for you to follow![]()
a broadband tweak that works only for broadband users. *sigh*
well, i would like to emphasize that this works with dial-up users as well. you can see the variations in the settings so dial-up users can still tweak their firefox settings![]()

allright, for everyone's sake, im posting the settings here plus additional infos about them.
Where do we find the JS file?
WinXP
C:\Documents and Settings\xxxx\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default\pre fs.jsWin98SE
C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default\pre fs.jsHere are the settings:Note: Please be aware that if Firefox is running when you're applying the settings, Firefox will overwrite the ones that you created back to default. In other words, stop all firefox applications when applying the tweak.
(These varies as to the speed of your computer and your connection speed. This is already done for most computers since tweaking it yourself, is a bit HARD.

So, there you have it. Have fun with firefox. For more infos, please visit the link i posted above. ;)
I think the connection you get from your ISP is fix and can be variable only thru specific bursting speed. Yes Tweaks will work to have your firefox work as fast as you want but connection. NO WAY!!!!!!!! Only the Firefox itself is fast but if you have slow connection, tweak still dont function as what you expected.
i hope you are aware that firefox's configuration upon installation is directed to a general audience. some of features are hidden and or disabled. this tweak exploits these configurations for a better purpose. i think you should look at the bright side and try this one out, you aint gonna lose nothing do you?
to prove the difference when applying these tweaks, surf to http://www.inq7.net
try it without the tweak first, afterwards, apply the tweaks and see the difference. if you aint intersted with firefox, go stick with your INTERNET EXPLORER
i see your point about the consistency of the connection i get from my host BUT this tweaks are referring to how FIREFOX handle the connections i get. (please read paragraph 1) dont be so RUDE by disagreeing right away without trying it first. how bout reading the source code and find out why...![]()
