Computer Tips

This configuration is more suited to people without ultra fast connections. We are not talking about dial up connections but slower DSL / Cable connections.

This configuration is more suited to people without ultra fast computers, but have high speed internet (DSL / Cable Internet)

One of the changes made for this particular configuration is the final line where the status bar is disabled for changing web pages to save processor time.

We have entered the doldrums of the dial-up user

Some of the options we chose not to include as opposed to suggestions on the Mozillazine threads included the suggestion of catching SSL pages. Regardless of computer speed, one of the common trends is that pipelining is a good thing. Those with faster computers and gobs of memory may want to up the amount of memory available to Firefox while those with slower computers can still increase the default 4MB to something higher. This was not done in our configuration files however. Power users are also welcome to disable the status bar to seek out that extra CPU cycle or two.
