I found this in a forum, an dwanted to mention it. there is a hidden feature in firefox 1.0, the turbo mode.

Type "about:config" in your url bar and edit the setting :


Screenshot is in french, replace mentally "booléen" by "boolean", and "par défaut by "default" ;)
Scrool odwn in the list till you see reach "browser.turbo.enabled", double click it to seit it to "true".

It saves memory, which makes the browser faster.

Why wouldn't they just set it to true in the first place?

I don't see anything different between Turbo off and on (except the startup speed)

I tried it and absolutely nothing happened. It even uses up the same processing power and memory. Oh well, if it works for someone, more power to them.

It went much faster when I first changed it, but after awhile it goes back to it's normal speed. Or maybe I just got used to the turbo speed...
