I never knew about:config existed within a browser. huh - cool. ( "Here there be dragons!" *smile* That was cute.) So, if I wanted to undo the changes where I created the lines, like the “ui.submenuDelay”: set “0; (zero), how would I remove the line? Thanks for the new information, Dmitri. It's amazing really how much I've learned over the years directly because of my interest in Neopets ...

Wow nice! :O This is great. Helps when I'm doing something on Neo that takes 1000 RFes, which is pretty much all I do on neo *lol* EDIT: There is one little thing that's bothering me right now. Every time I reload the page, the screen flashes white first. It's a little disrupting when I'm trying to play NQII. Do you know how I can make that stop?

My firefox has always done the whole flashing thing *lol*. It could be because when I changed these settings, I didn't have to change the network.dns.disableIPv6 to false; it was already done. I wonder if that makes your screen go white between every page :O[/color] --- [color=blue] From the land where Funny is a smell and Peachy is an emotion... [/color]

Wow, I just made all of the recommended changes this turd of an office computer (Pentium 4, 2.79GHZ with 496mb ram LOL) here at work, and it works A LOT faster. The only drawback is the screen flashing (grey for me, not white?) between loads, but it's still faster than the lag I used to get between loads anyway.

Very nice! Compliments my 15 meg connection nicely, I never even knew about the about:config with FF, nor did I think I could get pages to load even faster (they were already click-bam! with my ISPs speed). i7 920 system with 12GB RAM, so may never need, but I set the memory.capacity to 1048576 :D The real test will be with auctions [font=Courier New] -------------------------------------------------------------- The STUFF - Mainly Codestones @ reasonable prices http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=whispering_acara&misc [/font]

Will this work with chrome too? Or is there something else I can do with Chrome to make it faster?

I felt no need to upgrade my machine until reading this, even with 5 FFs with 10 tabs each, watching youtube videos, editing images in photoshop and pretending to do work with the other 10 apps running, I never felt a need for more than the 4GB of RAM I had *lol* Actually I usually run BEHIND the curve, because my boss's boss feels that if WE have something like that, EVERYONE will want that, so I usually have a GREAT system, but not a MAKE YOUR EYES BLEED one :) Of course, once I get gigabit to my desktop, I won't care about such piddly things, yay for first tier university net connections *lol* I RS SO much better at work than at home (combination of super internet connection and a much more ergonomic setup... a laptop and optical mouse in bed just do not work as well!) I was about to say 'wow, I need to get out more', but I DID just get back from 2 hours dancing at a club!
