Default Speedy Firefox

Does anyone know what you type into the address bar that causes Firefox to speed up? I don't really know exactly how to explain it, but somewhere, somehow, you can modify how many times Firefox accesses a web site, from 1 to 10, or whatever. It used to be on another forum I visited, but they have since started updating and I can't find it... can't come up with anything on the search here either.

I'm sure SOMEONE knows what I'm talking about...

Thats, well, bullshit. Firefox cant be speeded up (a lot). You can tweak the settings by typing about:config in the address bar, but seriously, changing the setting wont help much.

There are loads of ways to speed up Firefox. The easiest way would simply be to download Fasterfox and set it to turbocharged. That's what I do, saves you remembering what you changed and works just as well.

Also stume, when you visit a large amount of sites often, it will help quite a bit. You notice the speed up when you're visiting lots of pages very quickly (forums, galleries). Pipelining and connection width are two of the simplest, but Fasterfox automates it all.

it looks different, has more updates so might ask a couple times to restart. After clicking later it just shut up and does it the next time. No crashes for me so far. And it's fuckfast

Black if you're talking about fasterfox... no. You can turn it on and off as well as setting it to many different settings.
