Well Folks, I've done it again!

Yes, it is true! I have again modded firefox to make it faster and more relaible! I had beed testing a script i wrote to make FF faster and after a month in the making and modding i have finally come up with the best results. Of course I had help from various forums like mozillazine in creating this script but what matters is its benifit.

By downloading the file below, and following the instructions you will again have a more kickass firefox in terms of speed and security!

I decided to call the script KickAsserFF! LOL

Get the script here : KickAsserFF!

Note: KickAsserFF! is © CouGeR ~aka~ Me . Please do not distribute it without permission from CouGeR.

BTW : Plz share your thoughts about this with me, it helps me improve it , check for popularity, bug reports (shouldnt be any but u never know). etc.

1) Making sure Firefox isn't running, pick the file from the folder indicating your connection type.


Which folder would this be. I only have 3 jscript files.

Distributing a .js file without saying EXACTLY what it does? Are you stoned? Even the readme is vague.

I recommend people dont touch this at all.

Extend the right column that says 'PATHS' and choose which one to extract.

If you are so worried you can download the fileand view itwith any text editor. If you did, youwould see that it is harmless. All he is doing is changing some network settings. Looks like he did a pretty good job with them.

Here is a screenshot for where u have to put the .js file wink.gif

[attachmentid=98085]

O btw this is the folder when you go to C:\Documents and Settings\yourpcname\Application Data\Mozilla\

Here, you can also do this to increase the speed even more! Infact you should do this too along with my KickAsserFF! it really helps with speed wink.gif

Here is a quick tip to make firefox 1.0 faster in browsing :

1) Open Firefox

2) Type "about:config" withought the quotations in the address bar

3) Look for this -> network.dns.disableIPv6

4) Double click on it, notice the value on the extreme right changes to true from false

5) Close all firefox windows

Enjoy! You now have an even better kickass firefox

Let me know if you see the difference
AbsoluteDNA
No comments anyone?

While I recommend the user.js, I would advise gainst disabling IPv6. Even thought its not being used much now, it should be used more in the future. I would leave it on.
metallithrax
Still can't tell if there is any difference, sorry. I had already done some tweaks, so maybe I was optimized anyway.

yup probably wink.gif

O btw that 2nd tutorial helps enable v6 anyways, why did u think it disables it huh.gif
amoeba
Good tweaks, some I didn't know (or care to know, heh)
AbsoluteDNA
thnx, anyone have more tweaks? Plz do share wink.gif

Would you mind telling what difference is between your download and the old "Firefoxtweaks" from here http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=187044 ? Even the readme.txt is a ripoff. Why are the .js files simular? same date, same content? You managed to change readme.txt, great...

If Im right you should be banned, if not I should wink.gif Judging from your story of hard labour last month I will take that risk.
supernova_00
The ones I linked to in the Firefox Guide that was linked in the above post, were made by Neoufo51 of neowin, Laszlo and Cusser of mozillazine. If they are the same size and tweaks that Hi! are saying is his then he is ripping them of their hard work
Tarzan
Yeah it was timeconsuming work for those ppl so a bit annoying to see they now must ask permission to distribute their own files/tweaks, heh. Think he is beyond reach but may be his attachment could be thrown into orbit? He will get more attention soon enough Im sure.

Well, if you read what you said, the variable is "network.dns.disableIPv6"..

So if network.dns.disableIPv6 = true, then it is disabled...
