Since I have installed Ubuntu 11.04 for my personal usage. I was facing slow internet speed in Firefox. After doing some search I figured out some configuration that helped to get normal browsing experience.Thanks to UbuntuGeek for these tips.

Open your Firefox and type about:config

And make following changes:

network.http.pipelining > Make it True
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests > Make it 8 or 10
network.http.proxy.pipelining > Make it True
network.dns.disableIPv6 > Make it True

Mozilla has launched a support program, providing help to those people who tweet their Firefox problems.

This support program is called Army of Awesome. You don’t need to be a Firefox expert to reply. Just pick the tweet that you think you can provide help over it. Its a nice way to support open source and free software. I appreciate this move by Mozilla. And I will give some time to it.

I read on their blog:

Happy tweeting! And remember…good things come to those who tweet!

And I found a tweet on Firefox twitter page distributing T-shirts for Army of Awesome participants. A good thing. Lets help.

Slideshow of online images with Cooliris

I found a fantastic internet browser plugin which gives interactive full screen slide show of online images. Cooliris has re-innovated the entire experience of browsing through the web in a very media-interactive way. The browser plugin will let you surf through 3D wall of images and videos found on the page.

The plugin doesn’t work on all web sites yet, but most of big names are already on board to support it like Flickr, YouTube, Kodack, Amazon, Photobucket, Picasa, DeviantArt, Smugmug, MySpace, Facebook, Bebo, Hi5, Friendster, Google Images, and more. Well you can also make you website Cooliris-enabled by adding small piece of code.

Today I downloaded my copy of Firefox version 3. After installation most of my Add-ons and all of my themes got out of order with newer version compatibility issues. Ya it needs some time to get all stuff up to date. The interface changes are cool in new version.

Have you tried new Firefox 3?
