If you are still not using Firefox, heres your Chance.
It’s a fast, secure and feature rich browser, way better than Internet Explorer.
Don’t forget to grab the original Pimp Skin: Pimpzilla!
If you want to pimp your Browser and add want it to go even faster,
try firetune.
“According to your specific computer speed and internet connection speed, FireTune will optimize several internal settings of Firefox for better performance. FireTune does NOT modify the Firefox executable, or any other Firefox binary file.”
truly one of the best browsers around and way better than ie. dont miss the extensions on https://addons.mozilla.org !
i would recommend: adblock, flashgot, launchy, sessionsaver, download statusbar..
oh man I can’t even remember how long ive been using firefox for
best browser ever.
I like computers. And the internet, where mom says it is ok for me to look
at boobies and bush patches.
Why didnt the original post state that you *have* to use the Pimpzilla skin?
Can’t surf without it!
ouw yea, added!
does firetune work in firefox 1.5? I’ve just updated, still the best browser on planet earth
just use that firetune if your experiencing slow browsing.. in most cases no need to tune the fox
Firetune is the lazy man’s way to about:config! ;)
Extension I cant live without: Translate, Adblock+, Bugmenot, Greasemonkey, CostumizeGoogle, and some more.
lol omg this theme is so great :D
SALL ABOUT THE IE… bill gates brings the funk everytime.
it’s a pitty, the pimp skin doesn’t work here. maybe it’s not ready for fx 1.5? btw: thx @ cream for the config hint.
my fav extensions are: adblock, stop-or-reload button, searchbar resizer, super drag and go, all-in one gestures, bugmenot, sage, bbcode, quicknote, tab mix+, google image re-linker, sessionsaver, download sort, flashgot (until download with works on 1.5), ebay negs! and pdf download. uh, quite a few…
to include rolldabeats searches in firefox use this plugin:
http://rolldabeats.com/download/rdb_firefox_searchplugins.zip
;)
This will make it work better…
Just go search for prefs.js on in your homedirectory (it’s in a hidden dir), make sure Firefox is closed and edit it with a text editor…
Or surf to about::config and change and add where necessary.

Enjoy
BTW: the smiley you see was not intended, it should be
user_pref(â€network.http.pipelining.maxrequestsâ€, 8 ) ;
But without the space between the eight and the )
remember to backup your searchplugins in “C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\searchplugins” when you update your browser or just put them in your profile on “C:\Documents and Settings\\Application data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxx.default\searchplugins” and they won’t get lost ;)
Too cool for IE
