Okay, we know Firefox just surpassed the 100 Million Downloads and still celebrating. This means the number of Firefox users is increasing rapidly. For sure, among all Firefox users, there will be some who don’t satisfy with the browser speed in rendering (displaying) the webpage. Not to mention, Firefox competitor, Opera claims to have faster page displaying speed compared to Firefox.
Hence, Mozilla Development Community of Mozilla Corp. has taken care of the needs from need-for-speed people by introducing a performance and network tweaks plugin for Firefox, named Fasterfox.
This plugin smartly prefetch links resides in the webpage that you are browsing and utilize the idle bandwidth by caching all the links. Besides, it tweaks the network connection to the server such as establishing simultaneous connections to the server (instead of the number set by default), pipelining, etc. Basically, the latter feature can be done manually, but since there is this useful available, why not install it? :)
Well, other than making the page rendering speed faster, the plugin provides you a Page Load Timer, which shows you the time taken to load the page fully in millisecond. This timer gives you a better idea of how fast before and after you tweak your Firefox. Cool !
Last but not least, it blocks popups too.
Click here to install Fasterfox 0.7.8 now.
*You need Firefox 1.0 – 1.5 Beta 2.
To check the version you are using, click Help at the toolbar, then select About Mozilla Firefox.
