"...here are two great tips for Firefox, the free, rock-solid, secure
browser from the Mozilla Foundation. Apply them both to enjoy the time you
save loading Firefox and loading web pages. They really make Firefox
faster..."

I'm totally switched over to FireFox now, using IE for internet explorer and some sites;

but calling FF rock-solid is large overstatement in my humble opinion



+ the download manager sucks monkeyballs compared to Download Accelerator Plus

Same here, FF isn't as stable as they want to make us believe.
FF keeps crashing using test 2 (on unload) : http://popupcheck.com/freescan/popup...t_advanced.asp

But, that isn't what you can understand under 'normal use'.

I got this from telenet a while ago:



open notepad and copy the following into it:.

user_pref("content.interrupt.parsing", true);
user_pref("content.max.tokenizing.time", 2250000);
user_pref("content.maxtextrun", 8191);
user_pref("content.notify.backoffcount", 5);
user_pref("content.notify.interval", 750000);
user_pref("content.notify.ontimer", true);
user_pref("content.switch.threshold", 750000);
user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 0);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections", 48);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 16);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy", 16);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server", 8);
user_pref("network.http.pipelining", true);
user_pref("network.http.pipelining.maxrequests", 100);
user_pref("network.http.proxy.pipelining", true);

save as user.txt on the following location:
C:\documents and settings\username\application data\mozilla\firefox\profiles\default

username is the name of the target account, not the word username

rename user.txt to user.js

settings will take effect the next time you start firefox.

I never had problems with firefox and I've been using it for months now.

the only thing I get is that some pages don't display correctly but that's because of the poor coding rather then firefox.

here IE works flawlessly without any pop-up stopper. Just SP2 and all the updates.

I was using Firefox, but recently found quite a few pages that had issues under Firefox, that aren't there with IE. So I went back to IE like a week ago, but:
I'm getting errors like these every few pages in IE. No problems in any other program.
Anyone any ideas or solutions?
