FasterFox

[Hyper]

Was just browsing round the firefox plugins and found this, it tweaks all your firefox settings (dont ask how) but I have really seen a difference in speed since installing it. It has preset settings (set it to turbo charged) or you can set it to custom and tweak away.



Download it here...

I definatly reccomend it to anyone using FireFox.

Cheers Hyper - checking it out now.

Nice one there. I notice a difference already. I may have to start tweaking myself some.

Nice one Hyper! It seems to be loading pages much quicker!

I too noticed an immediate difference, even on the Optimized setting. I wonder how much it changes though, other than the max number of connections and such that one can tweak manually. Anyway it's a nice and simple way to do that. Thanks for the heads up

yeah ive used this plugin for quite a while, but before it was released, I always did the changes manually to firefox.

me and frag have both written guides on it, but all it does it optimises your bandwidth for broadband, and allows more concurrent connections.

all these settigns can be manually changed in about:config

But why bother Dave if you can get a tool to do it all for you

 

[Dav0s]

because i can change them to suit my connection sam, whereas fasterfox is still making assumptions on your bandwidth speed. hence, by doing it manually, mine is that tiny bit faster than fasterfox can make it.

Fair enough :worship:

Damn, nice find indeed.

It more than likely tweaks the settings how we have listed in the FF tweaks guide here at OC3D

Yeah, but I've been to lazy to re-do them since my last format , so this is a great plugin imo!

I don't want to steer this thread into a 'Try this firefox plugin' etc, but this plugin puts an 'X' on each of your tabs which I find very handy Tabfx

 

[FarFarAway]

You don't really need an "X" on the tabs cause you can just middle click to close

I use tabbrowser preferences

Speaking of all this, I wonder if I can tweak the FF settings on Mac... I bet so... Muahahaha

Actually, I prefer Safari over FF and I don't use that much. Safari looks better, it's faster, and has the same support. Me <3 Safari.
