Only a 4.6 MB download. Time to ditch the garbage that is IE (or, to a lesser extent, Netscape)!

i use mozilla firebird as well, and i have to admit its a VERY good browser. I have just one problem with it, maybe someone can help me ?

Im using dial up. When i was using IE i could load about 5 similar without getting a timeout (it took long, but no timeout). Now that im using Firebird i can open a MAXIMUM of 2 or 3 sites, one more and all connections time out. Is there any known way to solve this ?

thanks !

Try to enable pipelining:

Edit: yeah, Firefox is pretty good, but Opera is better

Your site works in Firefox 0.9 exactly as it works in IE as long as java and javascript are turned on.

Doesn't firefox allow you to keep the java stuff off, but turn it on for trusted sites?

Great news! Thanks ArkCon. You IE-haters have no excuse now- Go read O&C immediately!

Wish I could find that function, I'm going to have to pour through some help files ...
[EDIT}
It's not obvious, maybe I have to check out some extensions. I dunno 'tho, the reason I like Firefox is because it's small. I don't feel like addin stuff.
