Performance and network tweaks for Firefox.
Description
Performance and network tweaks for Songbird.
Fasterbird allows you to tweak many network and rendering settings such as simultaneous connections, pipelining, cache, DNS cache, and initial paint delay.
Dynamic speed increases can be obtained with the unique prefetching mechanism, which recycles idle bandwidth by silently loading and caching all of the links on the page you are browsing.
A popup blocker for popups initiated by Flash plug-ins is also included

this add-on makes the web-browser way faster. :P
Wow, the difference is insane! This is a must have add on. 5 stars!
@flynismo
really ? if you notice any bugs feel free to post it here =)
@ GeekShadow
Yep, this is just wonderful...I don't get increases this good when I manually edit settings in FF3...
Using this for two weeks, running great so far, no bugs to report yet but if I do happen to come across anything I'll make sure to let you know.
@flynismo
Thanks :)
Very awesome, it really works and works much better than the FireFox version.
The difference is awesome.
How come I don't feel any difference?
Wow... My bird got speed a lot! I added a new name: JetBird :) lol
This is an excellent add on. Speeds up my browser a bunch! Good work
Something no good after I upgraded to Songbird 1.1.1, Build 1018 (20090309144748).
The little bird icon and option menu appear twice.

And you can't seem to hide the timer. The button doesn't work.
This is an absolutely stupendous add-on that actually makes the browser more than tolerable. My Chrome was having Gmail troubles, and now even Songbird can load it up real quick!
Hooray and hurrah.
Nice work.
I LOVE this add-on, BUT ever since I've had it Songbird will freeze up everytime I open a new tab or load a new page. It might be the add-on using a large amount of resources, but it is quite annoying to have everything lock up everytime i change the site I'm viewing. I have tried other settings with FasterFox and it still has the same effect. Anyone else have issues?
