try the maximum values if you have a good computer (ie, dualcore, etc. and lots of ram)

and you will have the fastest browser ever

can try also a portable version of firefox

Dude I have been tweaking firefox since I first started using it 2 years ago..I love the fox. And I must say some of your suggestions here are entirely new to me. But before I can attempt them I need some help with this new ff 3. Everytime i go into about:config and change my basic features like nglayout or pipelineing. When I restart ff 3 the are all reset to the original values. Any ideas?

if you had any problems then set browser.cache.check_doc_frequency to 3

and back to normal
