For Geeks

Like you and me :P

Those of you who use Firefox as your browser, which every secure-no pop up-safe-tabbing surfing experience liking person should do, might be interested in a proven way to boost the speed and performance of Firefox. I've tried it myself and it does improve browse speeds TREMENDOUSLY. Of course, d/l and u/l speeds aren't affected as your bandwidth isn't physically increased. Just the way data is processed. ;)

Right click your icon for firefox and select properties. add this to the target at the end
/Prefetch:1

Should look something like this "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" /Prefetch:1

Relaunch firefox.

Or to make the internetz Go even faster then they will with that boosty thingy, save this file:

to this folder:

- In Windows XP, it is located in
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\default.###\
