Making Firefox faster

Both, pipelining and this moox stuff may cause some problems.
Just wanted to say it.

I prefer using the latest nightly builds and updating the hostperm file
every few weeks by erasing fuckin cookies I don't want, so I have a
personal cookie blocklist.

I put Firefox into my XP CD and it just rocks to integrate all this stuff.
I have everything in the "dafault" folder. Works.

To improve speed I use only an ad blocker.
(This is easy to build in because its only needed to modify a file which is
already there by default...)

 

Ive noticed a recent problem with the M3 build Im using...

when I click a link, the focus no longer changes to the FF window if I have one already open.

i.e. If I click a link in Outlook in an email, it used to move the window to the front and load the link. Now it just loads the link and doesnt change the focus.

Is this a setting somewhere that can be changed?

I just typed all that hooey into my Firefox. The thing flies! Thanks Savio.

 

Nice tool for those who want to do it the easy way.

^^ Don't use this tool if you are able to change stuff manually. It changes
different things that shouldn't be changed.

PS: If you use builds from the "latest trunk":

-------------------------------------------------------------
Run Firefox and type 'about:config' in the location bar. / Right-click on the main content area. / Select New / Select Integer / Enter the preference name 'browser.sessionhistory.max_viewers' and click OK / Enter '5' and click OK / Shutdown and restart Firefox / Take the feature for a test drive!
-------------------------------------------------------------

^^ After this you safe a lot of time when switching back or forward
because Firefox doesn't render previous pages again. I guess this caching
feature is knows from Opera.

BTW... in the USA only about 7% use Firefox... in Germany nearly 23% do.
