You're welcome. I assumed it was in the Control Panel mouse settings. :) My folks have a Logitech optical mouse and I had set up their side buttons for them.

I use another browser (Fastbrowser) that has 'computer' voice capabilities. It is good for reading lengthy news articles to the viewer.
FireFox now has a similar capability. The extension is called FoxyVoice.
That makes FireFox a very good candidate for anyone who is visually impaired or who likes to listen, rather than read, lengthy articles.

It may also depend on your ISP connection.This is true if one were on dialup. Too many connections, and the browser either slows down or worse yet, locks up. The max connections setting set at 30 means one connection is for retrieving the page, and the other 29 connections are used to grab the graphics (29 at a time).

For some reason, it works fine in the default settings for IE. For Firefox, you have to use Alt-left and Alt-right to back and forward. Fortunately, the new config still works with IE.
To: KoRn
Thank You - Worked for my setup. Firefox seemed to load images a bit slower than IE - not anymore.

That's weird. The forward and back buttons on my MS mouse work the same in Firefox as they do in IE. The Alt-Left and Alt-Right are a good substitute though.

I had already down loaded the "tweak network settings"extension. So most of the vaules had been adjusted. The time delay to "0" did help.
Thanks.

I agree totally. I think I've opened IE like twice since I installed Firefox. These tweaks just simply make the best even better!
