By default, Firefox is optimized for dial up connection. You can change the browser settings so that it can be used to browse with DSL or cable or other broadband links.


I did this about a week ago ...big difference .

I prefer FireFox at home but we have to use IE at the office due to server issues....... thanks for the tip - I'll see what kind of settings I have here at the house:)

Great find. I have used Firefox for a long time and never applied this fix. I have always heard that adjusting the internal registry for the program was not recomended. I applied this right now and have already noticed a great difference.

Great thread A+++

It really sped up the load time on many pages for me...things that used to take 10-15 seconds to load are now loading in 1-2. A lot may depend on the speed of internet service that you have.
