I found this info on the Firefox site, and should only be done by broadband users.

I did it myself, and it works wonders!!

In the movie, Clint just threw open the thrusters, but it burned way more fuel doing that.

Downloading for Dummies? Surely this can be changed.....?

From Firefox site:

Hassle-Free Downloading
Files you download are automatically saved to your Desktop so they're easy to find. Fewer prompts mean files download quicker.

or you can download the "networks tweaks" extension for a GUI method of doing this.

Thanks much. HUGE difference here, enough so that I'm probably gonna switch from Opera to Firefox. I'm finally getting browsing that reflects the pipeline I have. Nice nice nice.

It kind of worked for me...... w00t

I just followed your instructions and wow, I cannot believe the difference. I had even uninstalled Firefox, as it was so slow! This is good. Thanks!

If just done it to my MAC OSX version of Firefox and it works well... now can you help me find a fix for the horrible problem Firefox has is MAC OS X 3.2.8 which manifests itself as an inability to redisplay a page properly when, after scolling down one scorlls back up? (The page content dissapears like a roller blind as one scrolls up and the only way to get the page to display again is to reload the page)

I BELIEVE THESE SETTINGS ACTUALLY SLOWED DOWN MY BROWSER.

I'm not sure.

I did every single thing the above directions explained to do, and now my browser moves very slowly and pictures take forever to load! I am on a cable connection.. well, my roommate is on a cable connection and I connect through her computer via wireless router, etc. Pictures (once upon a time) didn't take this long to load before! What should I do?

How would one slow down an internet connection with firefox?

Bump for anyone who missed this the first time around. Also, if you use IE exclusively, this utility allows IE to run as fast as Firefox (however, still no tabbed browsing, etc. with IE, of course). To this day, I use both IE and Firefox.
