Firefox patcher

[MangoTBG]

I thought it was on AT that I saw this but I've been trying to search all over and can't find it.


It's a patcher that someone made for Firefox that forces Firefox to make multiple connections to the web server to download the contents of the website. I found that this patcher worked AMAZINGLY and that there is an insane speed increase. Could someone post a link or know what I am even talking about?


Thanks in advanced
Manuel

I've never heard of it, but it probably just turns on pipelining in about:config

yup, I think TweakXP does it for IE, but am not sure about Firefox.

Have you read RFC 2616? Or do you just like making stuff up?

Face it, firefox is slower than IE, even though it has a lot of other advantages. Not sure why the slowness is there, damn annoying

It's not for me. I just tested loading up CBS.com (I choose that site because I've never been there, so it wouldn't be cashed), and Firefox beat IE by about 1 second for me. Of cource, this was unscientific so there is a margin of error, but Firefox is at least as fast for me.

 

[NikPreviousAcct]

IE's not installed on my box and it's not possible for me to install IE on my box. With that information, Firefox is infinitely faster than IE on my box. 😉

where is the file with all the settings in about:config on my computer? I am using Firefox 1.0PR and i accidently added something I don't want in there.

N/M: Found it

what do you mean it breaks HTTP standards? Do you mean that pounding a server is frowned upon?
