Here is a tweak to make firefox work much faster.

Open Firefox.
Type "about:config" in the address bar (no quotation marks).
Locate the following options, double click each one and change to the values listed below:

network.http.max-connections: 48

network.http.max-connections-per-server: 24

network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy: 12

network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server: 6

network.http.pipelining: true

network.http.pipelining.maxrequests: 32

network.http.proxy.pipelining: true

thanks to M Cat at the Zen PC (http://zenpc.blogspot.com) for that.
 
At first I was a fan of Firefox, but then I tried Opera is good. The only downside for me is the small, back, forward and refresh buttons (etc...etc..) they are so small. I have just reformatted my computer so for now I will stick with IE....then if I feel like it back to Opera.
 
Firefox runs faster on my machine than IE or Opera, but that's reallly not the point...

Now I know I may well have my head handed back to me on a silver platter, but whether you use Opera of Firefox is really a matter of taste. The important thing is that we are not using IE, a piece of crap that leaves our computers loaded with malwire.

I'm rambling, aren't I???
 
Yeah, I dont know why this is such a discussion. We have already came to the conclusion that its really prefernece.
 
Not only preference, your system specs play a huge role, IMO.

When I was running Linux, Konqeror was horrible. Load times were bad, and several webpages screwed up (especially when they involved any forms...). On one of my systems, Firefox is the clear winner. However, on my current computer, IE takes the cake. I also like it more, seems more "clean".

I tried Opera, it was a bit too cluttered for my tastes. :-/

Besides, my webpages load fine. Who cares if I can gain an extra .0001 seconds in load time by switching to Opera?
 
"FireF*cks vs. Operape..."

Firefox is just too-**d-Damn Slow!!!! I'm using FireFox right now! It took me nearly 2 hours to post this one damn thing!! :freak: :freak: :dead:

I hate this thing! :(:(:( :cool:
