    user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 0);





    N. B. if you are paranoid just leave out the "disk cache ssl" thing ...



    Wow. I grabbed Phoenix and set up my user.js, this thing screams.



    It renders individual pages at about the same speed (sometimes faster, sometimes slower), but the server response times... hopping from page to page within a site is instantaneous - none of the Safari pause. It definetly doesn't look OS X though... It does work with every site though...

    yes Phoenix (just sounds better, risen from the ashes of Moz) SCREAMS. I haven't even tried tweaking the buffer. I can't wait to see what happens when Phoenix gets Moz 1.4. Pinstriped Pheonix and Safari, pimptastic! Phoenix and Moz should come with Pinstripe!

    Agreed that Mozilla is more mature and faster on https sites and for exampe a phpmyadmin site I use. Safari still crashes quite a bit.



    Firebird will surely be a very sweet browser once mozilla uses it for version 1.5 (see the mozilla road map).

    So Phoenix won't upgrade to Moz 1.4? What's the difference between Moz 1.4 and Netscape 7.1 besides the AOLTimeWarnerWatchDawson'sCreekTonightAt6 stuff in Netscape?

    That's the difference, basically.

    This really belongs in Software. Moving now.

    No kidding. Plus it gags sometimes on pages. It "pauses" or just never loads the page. It doesn't do this as much as it used to in v73 but it still has a weird lag issue.



    And why does it REdownload pictures when you drag them out of a window on to the desktop. Aren't they already on the hard drive? I always wondered why browsers would "redownload" the page again when printing a site, too.

    [B]I still keep Mozilla as my main browser. Currently at 1.4RC3 it has proven to be rock-solid and (apart from startup time) way faster than Safari!



    I just installed Moz 1.4 and, while it is faster than Safari, it has crashed on me 4 times in 1 hour. I think I'll stick with Safari.

    For those w/ Panther preview installed, apparently Mozilla 1.2(.x) and Camino 0.7 release (not nightly builds!) work.



    FYI.
