Fasterbird GeekShadow
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

@ 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.

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?
Hiromacu
@GeekShadow: Thanks! The status bar now is OK! But the hide the timer option still doesn't work.
@Toothpick1000: I noticed this problem without Fasterbird too. So I think not this add-on causes it.

@Hiromacu
Clic on Hide Timer then restart Songbird
Hiromacu
@GeekShadow: Yes, I realized. Thanks!
