Nice improvement! Works fantastic on Windows, Linux, and Mac OSX. Very close to Opera for ny needs on Windows, could eventually replace it. As for Linux, I still prefer Konqueror...

The settings you suggested are great.Originally posted by Wombat
You can tweak Firefox even more if you're running on broadband. Pipelining, and reduced painting time, among other things.
Doing it through user.js will only enable them on a per user basis.
On the other hand you can also change those preferences in config (type "about:config" in location bar). Just search for same variables and change them to the settings Wombat has posted.
This will apply to all profiles.Comment

about:config is much handier for changing most of those settings BTW.

From my experience, I'd recommend changing that initial paint value to something a little over 0, that way it doesn't have that choppiness as it fills in the content. (I have mine set at 10)Comment

Someone mentioned it on another forum, I just thought maybe there had been a buggy installer release that was later replaced, but it appears this wasn't the case.Originally posted by leech
Just out of curiousity, where have you heard that if you uninstall it, it will delete the parent directory?
Don't know where the rumour got started, perhaps from this:

What ran slow? 0.9, or the tweaks?Originally posted by The PIT
Tried at work for some reason it runs as slow as a dog weird.
The reason the tweaks aren't in by default:
1) Some of these would cause degradation to slow connections.
2) Some web servers are broken and don't support pipelining.
Sounds like maybe the sites you use don't pipelining. Try turning that particular tweak off.Gigabyte P35-DS3L with a Q6600, 2GB Kingston HyperX (after *3* bad pairs of Crucial Ballistix 1066), Galaxy 8800GT 512MB, SB X-Fi, some drives, and a Dell 2005fpw. Running WinXP.Comment
