this is a slim way to speed up a connection. Mozilla and IE both slow down lately. It's a new kind of conspiracy to make money off the unsuspecting. Gee never had THIS kind of problem before right?
Of course not. all this does is minutely speed things up. the real problem lies in the larger conspiracy going on the internet now. A new problem nobody knows about. Not spyware, virus, or malware. Just a new way to sucker all the users of the internet in. I'll bet if you re-install windows or install Mozilla for the first time you will not have this problem for a couple weeks. bet??? try it!!
then it will all slow to a crawl again. maybe favorites??? oh yeah you are supposed to be able to save those.... try saving favorites to a new favorites file other than the default and start the default favorites file over again. tell me what you find out.
