Ok first of all, there is an address you can type into your firefox browser to access all settings like max tcp connections, pipe flow etc. what is that address & what are the optimal settings for a power user using a 6mb/1mbit connection.

#2, i have yet to find out how to turn off flash banner sounds...i love the banners, but "OHHH ME SO HORNY!" at 3am when my little nephew visits on weekends & is in the guest room next door is not cool, i gotta figure out how to turn that off, that would totally be doing me a solid.

Thanks guys! Tech Guru's show your shit!

Ok i found the command you put in the browser

about:config

pr0 · 06-21-2005, 06:45 AM

Heres the first usefull one i've found so far

Enter browser.blink in the Filter bar. This process filters out everything except browser.blink_allowed. You know that gosh-awful blink tag from the early Internet days (and unfortunately still present on truly ugly sites)? That's what this item controls. If you look at the about:config resource under Browser.*, it states the following about browser.blink_allowed:

* True: Use of the blink tag or CSS's text-decoration: blink will result in blinking elements.
*

False: Blinking is disabled.

To create a new entry, such as browser.cache.memory.capacity, right-click the about:config content space and click New. In this case, select Integer. Enter the preference name and then enter 16000 for the value. These actions address a problem with the memory leak in Firefox.

The browser is supposed to use as much RAM as you have available and then let go of it when another application needs it. The Fox is not a nice animal when it comes to leaks, and this should fix the problem (remember to close and reopen Firefox to have the new configuration take effect). The value 16000 provides 16MB of memory cache; anything needed beyond that is cached to disk.

WOW!

Enter about:plugins to get a list of the installed plug-ins, version numbers, mime types, and information about whether or not it's enabled. Enter about:cache to get a summary of your memory and file cache, along with links to your cache entries.

^ FUCKING SWEET

So for those of you not following so far....simply goto your http:// bar up top...erase http:// & simply type in about:config, like you would type in about:blank
