I made a Mozilla-Search plugin for Timog Forum for people using Mozilla/Firefox. Go to the url below and click on the link to install it. You can then search the forum from the search toolbar on Firefox by choosing Timog Forum from the list of search engines.
Enjoy!
here’s the link:

Tweaking Firefox
(Jan. 11, 2005)
By Chin Wong
We’ve talked about what a great Web browser Firefox is. Now we’ll take a look at how to make it even better.
The tweaks here come from a number of mailing lists and improve Firefox by making it faster or more convenient to use. The improvements are noticeable, so it’s worth the extra effort to try them out.
The first thing we want to do is tell Firefox to fetch more than one file at a time so that it can load Web pages faster.
To do this, type “about:config” in the browser’s address bar and press Enter. This will call up a table of preferences called the configuration panel. Don’t worry if this gets technical; we’ll only need to change a few of these entries.
Type “pipelining” in the “Filter” text box. This will leave three options on screen.
Double-click network.http.pipelin ing to turn its value from “false” to “true.”
Do the same for network.http.poxy.pi pelining.
Double-click on network.http.pipelin ing.maxrequests and change “4” to “8.”
You can also tell Firefox to display Web sites as it’s still loading them. To do this, type “nglayout.initialpain t.delay” in the “Filter” text box. If your version of Firefox has this entry, double-click it and enter the value “0.” This tells the browser to go ahead and show parts of a Web site even though the rest of it is still being loaded.
If you don’t see the nglayout.initial.del ay entry, you’ll have to enter it manually. Here’s how. From the configuration panel, click the “Show All” button. Right-click on any entry and choose “New” and “Integer” from the pop-up menu. Type in “nglayout.initialpain t.delay” when asked for the preference name and press “OK.” Type in a value of 0 and press “OK.”
One last thing you’ll want to do is to tell Firefox not to use up too much of your PC’s memory so that it won’t slow down. Here’s how.
At the configuration panel, click on “Show All.”
Right-click any entry and choose “New” and “Integer.”
Type “browser.cache.memory .capacity” as the preference name and click OK. Type “16000” and click OK.
Close all Firefox windows and run the program again. You ought to see a significant improvement in speed.
Speed isn’t the only improvement you can make.
Firefox also lets you change the way it works by using extensions.
To install extensions, choose it from the Tools menu and click on Get More Extensions. This will open a Web page where you can pick the extensions you want. I recommend Adblock, which enables you to easily block out advertisements on a Web page, and Advanced Highlighter Button, which highlights search terms typed into the browser’s search bar.
One extension I like called “Click2Tab” isn’t on the site, but you can find it here: http://click2tab.mozdev.org/installation.html. This tells Firefox to open links in a new tab rather than overwriting the current page, which I think is a more logical way to surf. The extension also lets you reopen the last closed tab - very helpful when you close a tab by mistake.
Finally, you can change the way Firefox looks by using themes. These work like extensions and are available through the Tools menu. There are hundreds of themes to choose from, so it’s likely you’ll find something that suits your taste.
So go ahead and be adventurous. Firefox is a great browser, but tweaking it will give you one that’s even better because it will be tailored to your taste and requirements.
