Yeah FF is already fast enough ... any faster is pretty subjective unless you're sitting here timing MS with a stopwatch. :lol:

Re: A handful of Firefox tweaks that will double your browser speed

that's not FF being fast, its the quick server MS is on ;)

I don't know if it has increased load page time yet, but it can't help to try?

One thing I do worry about is my lack of computer knowledge - I mean, who is to say that all the tweaks I just did have enabled the creator of that report to log into my PC now??? Paranoid!
