hello m8's, I ran across some nice info at UBI this morning regarding the Firefox browser, I knew some of you guys used this browser so I thought you might like to check this out. I ran this little tweak on a copy of Firefox I have on my machine here at work and noticed a difference when surfing and downloading files. hope it helps ;)

hello m8s, its time for another Firefox tweak. a good friend of mine sent me a link to this site: http://moox.ws/tech/mozilla/firefox.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

again this is a tweak for those who use this browser coupled with a broadband connection, doesnt work with dialup. please read carefully before downloading and installing though, you must match your processor with the build, which in most case i assume most m8's here run P4's but if not look for the correct AMD listings also.

I think it works very well, I'd have to get a pretty accurate stopwatch though, your speeding it up pretty fast now :)
