Just note the part where it says the " need to be removed from the code, also make sure to enter the correct FF3 version you have, check it at Help> About in Firefox.

I've been thinking though. What if a fasterfox update arrives? Will it just update itself, or must we do all of this again?

Evidently I'm stupid: I believe I followed instructions, but my 3.0.3 failed it ..would putting "3.0.3" instead of "3.0.0" as my version (obviously sans quotes) be the problem?

Yes. I put 3.0.3 and it worked, remember to remove the inverted commas.

Nice tip, I've done the little "hack" to make a stubborn addon work before as well

Only on High Speed connections, won't improve GPRS or dial up, might even slow it down

So on a 384kbps line it should be a tad faster?

Anyone have a download manager that works with FF3? I have FDM, but I need to drag the link of the download to FDM to use it... Not always working so lekker...

Get an extension called flashgot. Should help FF and FDM to play nicely.

I use Orbit, don't need anything extra, it has it's own extension for FF. It's the fastest free download manager I've used so far and I've tried many.

Thanx, downloading it now, will check if I can be as happy as you with it.

Seeing as this uses more connections to the server, uses something like 48 max connections, when default is 4, will it use more cap? or aren't the requests sent from my machine?

Good question I'm sure it would slightly more, but the file gets transferred once whether fast or slow.

You'll see that if you clear your browser cache and you visit this site again, it will load slowly or slower on the first 2 to 3 times than before clearing it. Your browser basically caches/stores key areas of a website to make it load faster for you the next time and it doesn't download it again.

Good question though, I'd lie if I said I knew the definitive answer.
