8 hacks to make Firefox ridiculously fast

   Firefox has been outperforming IE in every department for years, and version 3 is speedier than ever.

     But tweak the right settings and you could make it faster still, more than doubling your speed in some situations, all for about five minutes work and for the cost of precisely nothing at all. Here's what you need to do.

Here's how to take them off and harness the full power of Firefox:
