To call anyone a "noob" while you're using IE, just shows how idiotic you really are. IE not only lacks the customizability that Firefox does, but also lacks many of the features that Firefox does, while leaving itself open to just as many or more hacks. End of story. Use Firefox.

Using the

nglayout.debug.enable_xbl_forms

Setting caused my form submit buttons to lose all text. Other than that everything works great. thanks

I believe the turbo setting tells windows to load a portion of firefox's core on boot, allowing it to pop up faster when u initially open it (basically its like prefetch)...

Also I use fasterfox and recommend it to everyone, I messed with a lot of the network settings in about:config but fasterfox puts an menu in your Tools-> Options menu that lets u choose settings from default to faster to optimized to superturbo, and they all seem to work pretty well although the turbo setting may be a little too aggressive and cause problems.

I have taken everyone's thoughts and did a little editing, I posted that link Omega gave me as well, thank you.

Sorry I haven't been on lately, I have been busy with family matters.

Techie:

PLEASE, pretty please remove: "browser.turbo.enable - true"

That pref does NOTHING in Firefox. It DID enable the preload feature in the Mozilla Suite but it does nothing for Firefox since it DOES NOT have a feature like that.

Old thread I know... Just looking at posts since last I was (sorta) here.

Anyway, you guys misinterpreted what this guy said. Isn't it quite ovbious? He's not saying IE is for non-noobs, or whatever... he's saying:"
Is there a tweak like this for IE as well?
If any of you didn't know, IE means Internet Explorer. ", just in a slightly less ovbious way, but it's clear that that was his sole intention.
While there are improvements yo ucan make to Internet Explorer, they wouldn't be as extensive or as noticible, it's not a good browser to be using anyway. IE is currently, and has been for many many years, an outdated abomination, shouldn't ever use it. IE 7 will be better yes, but I still wouldn't reccomend it over a browser like Firefox (or something like Opera can be good too)

Fasterfox for usage? Ew no. Only if you want to kill your favorite websites bandwidth. Fasterfox preloads every link on the page to simulate faster page loads, but this leeches too much bandwidth. Uninstall and trash the extension ASAP. Web admins are banning the extension too due to the bandwidth issues. DNSStuff.com has banned IPs because of the abusive nature of Fasterfox.

Firetune is awesome however, it does all the tweaks for you. Firetune on Betanews. Makes it very quick, easy to apply.
