Good lookin out, this works. (Y)

How much faster, TBD?

Sun Mar 05, 2006 12:31 pm

Well I'm already on broadband, so it's not an outstanding difference, but you can tell a little bit, sometimes the NLSC loads in like 4 parts it seems, now it loads faster.

I'm on 11.0 MBps, so the results are marginal, but hey, I bet some 54k guys are going to love it. Good tip. (Y)

I just noticed it , its great :lol: :lol: :lol: . I might download this later.Hopefully it can speed up my mozilla by alot since its going pretty slow lately .

Sun Mar 05, 2006 1:53 pm

yeah it worked for me pretty well too when i did it, explorer keeps attacking me randomly with pop ups though :? maybe it's jealous :o

Why isnt this working for me? :(

Am I just retarded?

I type the about.config but nothing comes up.

EDIT: oOoOoOoOoO!!!!

its about:config not about.config.


I have noticed the difference already. (Y)

Hmm, interesting.

I made the changes, but, it could just be me, but nlsc pages seem to be loading slower??

Are you using that firetuner thing?

Mon Mar 06, 2006 10:34 am

Thanks, I used to know this, but I had to reformat my PC and couldn't redo it once I reinstalled Firefox.

hmmm damn that obviously isn't supposed to happen, are you sure you did it all completely right? 'cause i would imagine one wrong command could fuck it up a bit

Wed Mar 08, 2006 12:09 am

I guess it could just be my imagination... i expected too much??
