I didn't... do I need to restart bimdows?

 

[VT]

You shouldn't.

Atleast I wouldn't think so.

Holy Crap dude! That's amazing, it's a lot faster now. Thanks 👍!

If you right click on a Firefox Shortcut and add

/Prefetch:1

to the end of it, it usually makes it load a little bit quicker when you start FF.

Thank for the new setting Shannon

Cool.

Wow, this tweak is great. I've onIy had FF for a few days and this has made it even better.

Sorry to revive this, but this 'tweak', is that what Fasterfox does?

Kind of. Fasterfox will download all of the links on any page you go to. Not bad for a "regular" website, but murder on a forum. I had Fasterfox installed for a few hours a while back and then took it off. It has a timer that shows you how much time you've "saved" by having all the links cached. After 4 hours on GTP, I'd saved a few seconds, if I remember correctly.

I love you, but not in a nasty way. This is SO FAST.

 

[CardcaptorYoshi]

Well, it's faster definitely, but it doesn't seem earthshakingly fast to me. Good find anyway 👍

Your not going to get T1 speed from dialup no matter what settings you change.

Actually, as long as you turn off that particular setting "Enable Enhanced Prefetching" fasterfox works great and does all that was listed in the first post. With the exception of one setting.

One of the guys I work with was reading this and suggested I install Tweak Network 1.1. It does the same thing as the settings changes and you don't have to turn off FasterFox's prefetch.
