doctorcilantro Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 I use Mozilla on my kompooter machine which is down during our move to our first house and until I rebuild it as an AMD64 rig.(yes on both counts!) I use three tweaks in the about:config (type into web address bar and hit enter): network.http.pipelining = set to TRUE network.http.proxy.pipelining = set to TRUE network.http.pipelining.maxrequest = set to 20-30 These make Firefox even faster and it already smokes IE6. The problem is that even with cookies enabled, my wife's laptop will not let me login to the Klipsch forums; using Firefox. IE6 works fine. Kinda stumped but wanted to give you all a heads up on the speed boost regardless. And FF's tabbed browsing is just heaven (especially since this laptop is having issues maximizing panes that sit in the taskbar....I have tried and tried but they just depress and you can't maximize any window...argghhh!)

boom3 Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 I am using Firefox right now. I had a prob at first but a later version of Firefox fixed it.When was the last time you upgraded? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 I have also been using FF, and have had no trouble here, even before it made it to 1.0. Something fishy is goin' on I would think. What OS are you running on the laptop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Mobley Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 no sweat, dump the MS crud off the thing, install a decent Linux distro, run FF with the tweaks, never look back. Did anybody mention that the MS TCP/IP implementation is the suxor? You web browsing will speed up just from dumping the MS IP stack. My Dell lappy is a microsoft-free zone. never crashes, runs faster, Bill can make his billions off somebody else. Not that I'm a geek or anything, but my new home 'puter is both intel and MS free.

Right click the item on the task bar and select Restore. Should pop it right up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
