What this will do is limit the number of simultaneous connections to a single website Firefox will perform.

Since FreeRepublic only has two small images on the browse page anyway, and they would be cached, this won’t do anything positive. I recommend not making this change.

Multiply that by thousands of people on tens of thousands of threads...

But what do I know? I only had my first computer job in like 1975.

Ahhhhh . . .

So, it would lessen the load on FR’s servers?

Wouldn’t that be a help today?

I confess, I’m often guilty of loading several different threads at one time. Guess I should’t today.

Much appreciate the input.

BTW, why isn’t FR going to the thread post # that one clicks on any more???

Simultaneous connections? HTTP is a connectionless protocol, so I am not sure what you mean. Could you elaborate? Thanks.
