speed up firefox was created by FcUK_D
found this tryed it and yeh seems to work quite well.
"This worked great for me.
Here's something for broadband people that will really speed Firefox up:
1. Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:
network.http.pipelining
network.http.proxy.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.
2. Alter the entries as follows:
Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true" from False
Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true" from False
Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once. From 4
3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives.
If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages MUCH faster now!"
give it a try if ya dont think it works then ya can always undo it, and if ya still usin IE then yer a sad git _K <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt="" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: -->

Neve used firfox before but am now and it runs much quicker than Explorer. Installed it on my dads pc which is a low end machine on ADSL and it opens up pages much quicker now.

just 1 thing with Firefox though, if you goto
tools/options/privacy and click on view saved passwords
theres all the passwords for everyone to see so its probably a good idea to stick in a master password <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt="" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: -->
