By Morbos - Sun 04/12/05 04:55:44 GMT Thanks for the icon-removal tip. That's the only thing that I don't like about 1.5. Looks like I'll be sticking with firefox for a while.
You can greatly speed up the firefox browsing speed by opening up the number of connections and such. Look it up on google or check this thread: http://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=52431&highlight=speed+firefox |

By MaK - Sun 04/12/05 02:18:37 GMT There is really not much fire over that fox and has never been. I usually call it Slowfox instead ;-)
Netscape had a very fast and efficient browser up to version 4.6 to 4.7 (depending on the language). Then they "committed suicide" and jumped on this terrible Mozilla project, which Firefox is also a part of.
You have done a great job making this forum fast, so you know something about efficiency, but most programmers do not do that. A sufficent amount of object-oriented programming can kill even the fastest computer.
I have also tried Opera. It is fast and efficient, but it cannot print - at least not to PostScript - and it do not display things the way IE do, so even though I am really not among Microsoft's biggest fans, I see no alternative to IE.

1 Enter URL of about:config 2 filter on "image_icon" (browser.chrome.image_icons.max_size sets the size above which thumbnails aren't produced) 3 change the value from 1024 to 0
