Doing that allows hackers to access your credit card # and other personnal information.

for the max request setting, looks like it is to be between 1 and 8, 4 is default. Higher than 8 and it will cause issues.

Tweek factor has a good article -> http://www.tweakfactor.com/articles/tweaks/firefoxtweak/4.html

Maybe I missed it, but what issues?

Found this on pirate4x4 a couple years ago and did it then. Seemed to only make a little difference but might be due to my piece of crap machine......

As for internet exploder..... my wife uses it on her comp. Doesn't understand why hers gets so much crap on it....

Holy Sheat...this thing is a rocket.

thanks:shock:

Higher values will cause a delay before the first request completes but will make the last request complete sooner. Higher values will also cause more of a delay if a connection fails.

Anyone notice more "can't load this page" and "blablabla took too long to respond" since doing this mod?

I ran this update/mod about 48 hours ago, and although "typical" pages do load faster, I have also noticed that many more pages can't load since doing this. Just seems like I have been getting more "rejections" than I have ever had previously. I am FAR from a network/internet geek so I don't know if this is just coincidence, or if this can be explained by making this modification. Anyone know?

Like I said, I have only tested for about two days, and I will keep it as is for a few more. Then probably go back to the way it was for a few, and see if the number of "rejections" goes down.

This also works on Netscape as Firefox is built on Netscape architecture.

I have not seen any of those errors. Although I am only running this mod on my work PC.
