I don't know what happened to my Firefox, it got so damn laggy and would lock up on me! Became so bad I had to use IE again. Maybe I messed up when doing about:config tweaks? Anyways this has fixed it. Now I dont have to rip out FF and put it back in again.

This program is a must have for a tech that wants to optimize a clients Firefox who probably doesn't have a modern internet connection and needs a little bit more than TCP and MTU tweaks. it is a very controversial program though, so use it responsibly. you should turn OFF the enhanced prefetching to respect the owners of the websites you visit so as to not use up their bandwidth and cost them money. also, if you have dial-up connection, this will not do you any good anyway. if you have low memory, say less than 1 gigabyte, turn off turn OFF the fastback feature. it can make Firefox slower (and your system), not faster. it pays to consult online documentation regarding this excellent plugin.
