-online spell checking
-lots of themes, interfaces, and extensions/addons
Unofficial Support:
-Free BSD
-OS/2

-BeOS
-XP Professional x64 Edition
Now here are some Tips&Tricks that can help you double the speed of Firefox.

2. In the filter search bar type network.http.pipelining. Be sure the value field is set true,if not
double-click to set true.
HTTP is the application-layer protocol that most web pages are transferred with. In HTTP 1.1,
multiple requests can be sent before any responses are received. This is known as pipelining.
Pipelining reduces page loading times, but not all servers
support it.
5. In IPv6-capable DNS servers, an IPv4 address may be returned when an IPv6 address is
requested. It is possible for Mozilla to recover from this misinformation, but a significant delay
is introduced.
Type network.dns.disableIPv6 in the filter search bar and set this option to true by double
clicking on it.
A. Enter content.interrupt.parsing in the New boolean value pop-up window and click OK
B. When prompted to choose the value for the new boolean, select true and click OK.

applications
will regularly render what has been received to that point. This option controls the maximum
amount of time the application will be unresponsive while rendering pages.

The low frequency interrupt mode interrupts the parser less frequently to allow for quicker page
load. The application enters high frequency interrupt mode when you move the mouse or type on
the keyboard and switch back to low frequency mode when you had no activity for a certain
amount of time. This preference controls that amount of time. Right-click (Apple users ctrl-click)
