Woo Hoo

FF3 Beta messed me around a bit over the past while. Was looking forward to the RTM.

I'm so sad.... Sad

opera is a great browser, only had once or twice problems loading a page
changed back to FF because i love plugins

as for having a good system, i support portable apps
half my system is running on portable application (firefox, chat clients, burning progs, ftp clients, mail, archiving.. etc...)
it doesn´t mess up you system with registry, you newer have to backup before formatting (got everything on a secend partition) etc.

if anyone is interested i can post all apps that are portable, you´ll learn to love it

Yeah, I never thought of putting portable apps on my main pc. I just have them on my USB stick. Nice tip, dude. We'll keep you Smile

You have iTunes portableapp?

Apple stuff always freaked me out with the sneaky installs.

Send me some links, bro. I'll look into them.

just google for " applicationX portable" or visit portableapps.com

for itunes, or licensed software search for e.g. " itunes thinstall"
nothing illegal there, you are just downloading an altered application

thinstall is a software checking your system before and after the installation and making a portable application out of the stuff you just installed

for making firefox-portable you default browser, google for "DefaultMyFFP"

Here's a tip to speed-up your Firefox (any version and OS).

Type about:config in the address bar

Find the following keys

Set “network.http.pipelining” to “true”

Set “network.http.proxy.pipelining” a “true”

Set “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to a value of about 30. This will increase the request that Firefox makes to a site, be aware of your bandwith for other computers using the same connection.

Right click where ever you want to and choose “New -> Integer”. Name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and then set it “0”.
