More Firefox tweaks... Following on from the last lot, which I've posted again for good measure, there's some more below (in bold): Please note these settings are for adsl/cable connections and a fairly decent pc (1Ghz plus) Open a new tab or browser window and type " about:config " in the address bar without the quotes. Right-click and modify (or just double-click) the following values as such: network.http.pipelining: true network.http.proxy.pipelining: true network.http.pipelining.maxrequests: 10 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 browser.xul.error_pages.enabled: true browser.cache.check_doc_frequency: 1 (forces a refresh when visiting a page) layout.frames.force_resizability: true (if you want to force frames to be resizable) Now, right-click anywhere and select New-->Integer and create the following (without the quotes): Name: "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" Value: "0" Name: "privacy.popups.disable_from_plugins" Value: "1" (as it says on the tin) Name: "browser.cache.memory.capacity" Value: "16000" (alleviates a slight problem with memory leakage) Now, right click anywhere and select New-->Boolean and create the following (without the quotes): Name: "config.trim_on_minimize" Value: "False" (fixes slowness on maximising minimised Firefox windows) Name:"browser.block.target_new_window" Value: "True" Name: "browser.tabs.opentabfor.middleclick" Value: "True" Name: "browser.tabs.opentabfor.urlbar" Value: "True" (disable pages or links from opening new windows) To speed up Firefox's loading time, right-click on the desktop icon (or start menu icon, whichever you use), select Properties, select shortcut tab, and add the following to the end of the Target line: /Prefetch:1 So the target should look as such: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" /Prefetch:1 (make sure there is a space between the quote and the backslash) And lastly, to disable certain sites from disabling the right-click context menu (preventing you from saving pictures etc), see here: http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/tips#beh_contextmenu Mint.
For some reason the board is adding a space where I've posted about:config above - there should be no space between 'about' and the colon.
