Firefox 1.0

If you've been living in a cave with a "dial" telephone, analog clock and "rabbit ears" antenna on your Zenith TV, you may not have heard yet about the Firefox browser (download it now and start using it--don't be a ninny). Recently thousands of people just like you and me donated $25.00 each to get a full page ad into the New York Times advertising the release of the open-source, Mozilla-based Firefox browser. Previously called "Firebird" in the last couple of years, Firefox is a truly fast browser that is very extensible and has become the browser of choice for those "in the know".

Here is a great "hack" to speed up Firefox, as provided by my good friend Jerry. Not that Firefox needs to be sped up any more than its current speed, this "hack" only applies if you're using a broadband connection. It tells Firefox to do more pageloads at once and sort of "thread" them into itself. Here's the link.
