Hey all, I posted this in another firefox thread, but I don't think many people would have seen it, and this tim I have a step by step tutorial for you

.

Click Here For the Video Tutorial (Flash Player is Required)

The video shows how to set your browser up correctly for a broadband connection. If you are on a modem, this may not be suitable.
I changed my settings from 15 to 30 (you'll see what I mean in the video), but the ideal number depends on your connection. Here is a rough guide:

56k: NONE
128 ISDN: About 5 I guess...
256 ADSL: 5-10
512 ADSL: Around 15
1mb ADSL: About 30
1.5mb : 40
2mb : Im not sure, but I suggest 50.

This is just a general guideline, if you want to get the very best performance, experiement! I have a 1mb connection, and I know 30 works best for me.

Nick

You know when a new update gets released (like Recently) do you have to redo those steps in about:config

Umm... No. But you shouldn't be using explorer anyways.
