Firebird Discussion

doh

one of the reasons ie has been faster for me is my fastnet99\\well, silly me, fastnet 99 supports firebird right throught the gui

how slow am I?
 
Fastnet? Is this some sort of speed up internet type of thingie?
 
ya, it will turbocharge your page loading;


FastNet99 is a network utility that will speed up your web browser every time you want to connect to a web site on the Internet, by avoiding time consuming DNS lookups. It provides all the tools you need to help diagnose network problems and get information about users, hosts and networks on the Internet or on your Intranet. It combines DNS Lookup, Ping, TraceRoute, WhoIs, Finger, Time Synchronizer, Port Scanner, E-mail Checker, Net Launcher and more...


it's free, and it's the first thing I do to my internet
 
doesn't it just cache the DNS using your host file?
 
ya...among other things, it does this on the fly...like typing in the address directly without looking it up, some other stuff too, but that's the biggy...is there another way to do this in mozilla without a program?

Click to expand...

So how well (fast) is it runnin now? That's if you're usin fastnet99 with Firebird now.
 
haven't had a chance yet to do a side by side, but it's definately caught up by my naked eye
 
Does anyone know the hack or a link to, to replace the default icon thing that is the link to Firebird's home page in the upper right hand corner of the firebird browser???

Different themes have different Icons and I would like to replace it. I think that Lynchknot's site had something on it... I gotta go and see. But if anyone has info on this please post.

See attachment. 🙂

Thanks lynchknot, I was actually searchin there this morning, but I didn't see it.


Thanks again 🙂
 
I just got the following from another site;

Those who think browsing is faster with IE and still have either Mozilla or Firebird on your box....
Open up the Moz browser (or FB) and type in the address bar "about:config" without quotes.

Now look for these settings (they are in alphabetical order) and set them to the following values.

user_pref("network.http.max-connections", 128);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 48);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy", 24);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server", 12);

I don't have any of these _pref values though
 
Perris: Look for "network" on the about:config page. It looks like this:

attachment.php

If you still don't see them, go to your profile directory, and create a new file called "user.js", then add the lines into that file, and save it.
 
Yes, it's one of those tweaks that I enabled right after I installed Firebird.
I'm told it does make a difference, but I've barely noticed, probably since the difference is just a fraction of a second on a good broadband connection. I haven't tried it on anything less than a 3mbit line (and now on a 24mbit connection)
 
I'm using those settings in Firebird and it does seem to "feel" faster.

*goes back to surfin pr0n* 😛
 
😱 Noooooooo shit... that loaded pretty quickly. 😀
 
seems to me like one of you mozilla gurus can figur out a tweak so that importing ie favorites does not invert them

when I'm in power surf, I have to switch back to ie, and I don't havbe the time to re organize the mozilla bookmarks
