Awesome Firefox add-on (FastestFox)

[Joeteck]

Im a HUGE fan of firefox and its add-ons... Some are really awesome.

FireFTP (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/684), ForecastFox (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/398), sage (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/77), and many others..

The one I really like, is FasterFox (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/9825)! Especially using it here when you have a thread with many pages. It automatically loads the next page for you.

there are some about:config tweaks that will really make pages load faster.... and by default... firefox already precaches pages by default... u can tweak its settings in about:config.... no need to add another addon that will slow down FF

Joeteck, what exactly does it do? When you click on a thread with 5 pages, it pre-loads all five of them is that the gist?

What if the thread has 50 pages? What if it has a 10000? :)

It's cool having little custom pics next to your Bookmarks!

Except soon after I found it, I discovered PlainOldFavorites which saves me the headache of synchronizing my old Favorites folder with Bookmarks and just uses a physical custom *folder* to keep bookmarks which are simultaneously used by Internet Explorer, Firefox, or any other program.

I have things other than web links in my Favorites folder which I collected in the past 15 years... so it was a life-saver.
