That sort of thing has been tried a few times before and has never really caught on for the reasons you give. The default mode for it basically just changes a few settings within firefox to turn things like http-pipelining on, They are off by default because some webservers don't support it (i've never come across one), If you are on a high latency connection to a server who likes putting their buttons as pictures it can make the difference between a 10 second page load time and a 40 second page load time. You can do it all through about:config but this way is easier ;-> If somebody knows of something that does the same tweaks without all that other crap i'd like to hear it. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
