  1. Hi!

     

    I've been watching this forum for almost a year and I've finally decided to register here :whistle:

     

    I live in Canada, so I'm also worrying about what's going on with the North American release of Sacred 2.

     

    I'm happy to new be a member of this great forum! :lol:

    Hi Max - Hope you have fun here - Great to see you sign up :)

  2. Oki :)

     

    If you put an incorrect entry in it is noted as such and when you restart FireFox it is removed -

     

    As for the user.js file - It is simply where these settings are located - They are the user specific settings that you change in about:config.

     

    Put simply - change something in about:config and it changes the user.js file settings.

     

    The file does not exist by default, so you need to create it before you can start adding your preferences. In almost all cases, edits made using the user.js can be done via the Config Editor, which is the recommended method. So by changing settings in about:config - there is no need to create a user.js file :)

     

    Hope this helps :)

  3. Bah - I thought I would go whole hog and post the lot - This is SAFE and proven - feel free to ask me any questions or anything you don't understand

    :)

     

    The following configurations are based off of recommendations off of the Mozillazine thread with some editing on points that I do not agree with

     

    Common to all configurations - This is basically the first post I made without explanations

     

    These are the settings that seem to be common to all configuration files regardless of connection speed or computer speed with a couple of additions - plugin paths can be found with about:plugins and the bookmark menu delay is turned off.

     

    user_pref("network.http.pipelining", true);

    user_pref("network.http.proxy.pipelining", true);

    user_pref("network.http.pipelining.maxrequests", 8); ( between 8 and 30 is best in the last value - I use 30 )

    user_pref("content.notify.backoffcount", 5);

    user_pref("plugin.expose_full_path", true);

    user_pref("ui.submenuDelay", 0);

     

    Fast Computer Fast Connection

     

    user_pref("content.interrupt.parsing", true);

    user_pref("content.max.tokenizing.time", 2250000);

    user_pref("content.notify.interval", 750000);

    user_pref("content.notify.ontimer", true);

    user_pref("content.switch.threshold", 750000);

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

    user_pref("network.http.max-connections", 48);

    user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 16);

    user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy", 16);

    user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server", 8);

    user_pref("browser.cache.memory.capacity", 65536);

     

    A couple settings of note - Firefox is allocated 4096 KB of memory by default and in this configuration we give it roughly 65MB as denoted by the last line. This can be changed according to what is used.

     

    Fast Computer, Slower Connection

     

    This configuration is more suited to people without ultra fast connections. We are not talking about dial up connections but slower DSL / Cable connections.

     

    user_pref("content.max.tokenizing.time", 2250000);

    user_pref("content.notify.interval", 750000);

    user_pref("content.notify.ontimer", true);

    user_pref("content.switch.threshold", 750000);

    user_pref("network.http.max-connections", 48);

    user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 16);

    user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy", 16);

    user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server", 8);

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

    user_pref("browser.cache.memory.capacity", 65536);

     

    Fast Computer, Slow Connection

     

    user_pref("browser.xul.error_pages.enabled", true);

    user_pref("content.interrupt.parsing", true);

    user_pref("content.max.tokenizing.time", 3000000);

    user_pref("content.maxtextrun", 8191);

    user_pref("content.notify.interval", 750000);

    user_pref("content.notify.ontimer", true);

    user_pref("content.switch.threshold", 750000);

    user_pref("network.http.max-connections", 32);

    user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 8);

    user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy", 8);

    user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server", 4);

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

    user_pref("browser.cache.memory.capacity", 65536);

     

    Slow Computer, Fast Connection

     

    user_pref("content.max.tokenizing.time", 3000000);

    user_pref("content.notify.backoffcount", 5);

    user_pref("content.notify.interval", 1000000);

    user_pref("content.notify.ontimer", true);

    user_pref("content.switch.threshold", 1000000);

    user_pref("content.maxtextrun", 4095);

    user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 1000);

    user_pref("network.http.max-connections", 48);

    user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 16);

    user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy", 16);

    user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server", 8);

    user_pref("dom.disable_window_status_change", true);

     

    One of the changes made for this particular configuration is the final line where the status bar is disabled for changing web pages to save processor time.

     

    Slow Computer, Slow Connection

     

    We have entered the doldrums of the dial-up user - my advise - UPGRADE! ( if you can ofc - not always possible but the whole experience is worth it! )

     

    user_pref("content.max.tokenizing.time", 2250000);

    user_pref("content.notify.interval", 750000);

    user_pref("content.notify.ontimer", true);

    user_pref("content.switch.threshold", 750000);

    user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 750);

    user_pref("network.http.max-connections", 32);

    user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 8);

    user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy", 8);

    user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server", 4);

    user_pref("dom.disable_window_status_change", true);

     

    Some of the options I chose not to include as opposed to suggestions on the Mozillazine threads included the suggestion of catching SSL pages. Regardless of computer speed, one of the common trends is that pipelining is a good thing. Those with faster computers and gobs of memory may want to up the amount of memory available to Firefox while those with slower computers can still increase the default 4MB to something higher. This was not done in our configuration files however. Powerusers are also welcome to disable the status bar to eek out that extra CPU cycle or two.

     

     

    Hope it doesn't scare you as it may seem complex - but is actually very simple to do - You can't break anything as you can always restore defaults and you are changing no system settings

    ( exception is changing the memory allocated to firefox )

     

    Also any strings or values you cannot find usually indicates you need to add it - so if you can't find the command listed - add it as follows -

     

    right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer

    select add and put in the name listed - then click o.k - and put in the value listed.

     

    Please just ask if you need help :)

     

    Enjoy :P

  4. Are there any negative effects at all with having Firefox run this way?

     

    I've heard wife.gif some reports that valoranim01.gif people are getting doof.gif weird icons popping up st_alien1_sm.gif but I've not crazy1no.gif experienced it. bonggggg2lk.gif

     

    stubbs

     

    bwahahahahaha - so funny

    :)

     

     

    No Gogo - there is no negative - It is simple to return the settings to normal - Though I know of know one that has :)

     

    I deliberately kept this post and the instructions here simple - But I do have settings that are specific to your particular setup at home - for example: Fast PC - Slow connection speed or Fast connection - older or slower PC. The difference is remarkable and I am happy to post the lot here if people want the details :P

  5. I have been doing this for some time and been meaning to share here -

     

    Speed up Mozilla Firefox about 3-30x Faster...

     

    If your a firefox lover like me then you should try this.

     

    1. Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll

    down and look for the following entries:

     

    network.http.pipelining

    network.http.proxy.pipelining

    network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

     

    Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time.

    When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really

    speeds up page loading.

     

    2. Alter the entries as follows:

     

    Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"

     

    Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"

     

    Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This

    means it will make 30 requests at once.

     

    3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer.

    Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0".

    This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves.

     

    If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages 2-30 times faster now.

  6. loool Gogo

    :D

     

    I also uninstalled it after a few minutes - but some of my alliance mates have used it for ogame - below is some of the feed back - I think I will try it again with a more open mind :)

     

     

    Re: Ogame -

     

    'Its really easy to keep Overwiev, messages, galaxy fleet etc menus open at the same time not even mentioning the switching. Wonderfull browser, im using it in the game from now on biggrin.gif'

     

    in general:

     

    'WOW, 3D Virtual PORN ! Am lovin it blink.gif'

     

    'lol, I got lost in the patio. sleep.gif'

     

    'lol, what's the point? Doesn't seem very convenient to me. tongue.gif'

     

    I let you know how it goes with Ogame :P

  7. Yes it was - That is his form - it's actually how all this began. Micheal (helpme) probed him a couple of times one week - Then suddenly he contacted me saying we were planning something, and started spamming me with all manner of threats and abuse. ( I at that point had never heard of him ) He is a very weird person - I think he must be a very young child. I am not sure. -

  8. Ok - I used to work as a breakfast Chef for quite some time.

     

    Here is the way I fry eggs - It's simple - fool proof pretty much - and my friends are known to have copied my method :) ( saves me doing it! )

     

    It's harder to get it right cooking with electricity - Gas is much easier to control the heat.

     

    1. Heat butter SLOWLY in clean non stick pan. The butter should be just melted - I wait until there are just a few pieces of butter not melted then proceed.

     

    2. Crack the eggs slowly into pan - In good restaurants they cook them to order for a reason - better not to do more than 4 at a time.

     

    3. Heat them very slowly and gently - and when the whites start to go ermm.. white - put a lid over the pan. I always use a saucepan lid as it created the steam needed quicker. This cooks the eggs both from the top and bottom. Giving them an attractive poached look on the top - and allows you to control the cooking of the yolk perfectly. So if you like runny yolk - you never get the 'rooster juice' ( lol - sorry ) or uncooked egg white that people don't like - and prevents burning and over cooking from the bottom up.

     

    Next time I fry eggs ill take some pics :)

     

    When I have a little more time ill add my 'scrambled eggs to die for' recipe :P

  9. Heya

     

    Just to keep all of D.a.r.k. informed. DAWN have withdrawn the NAP between Nova.TC and ourselves. We wish to reitterate that will still stand firm with all of D.a.r.k. in anything that they do.

     

    Best wishes

     

    Firefly [DAWN]

    :P Oh I just couldn't pass this up!

     

     

    LOLOLOL

    :)

  11. hmm - I don't know if I am missing something with the cam - Misiek hit. I see a few mentions that it's a bit dodge but all I see is Cam attacking Misiek >> Misiek Ninjas. Cam fleet saves badly you would have to assume >> Misiek Hofs him. As I said I have no real idea but as I read the posts I see little else. I can only imagine how Noorg feels :S I gather the main reason is that they used to be in the same alliance? That does look suspect but is Misiek not a different player of that account? He does mention in the first hit ( Ninja ) Cam is a noob etc.. and I reckon he seems a little familiar with Cam to not know him at all. I don't know. I do know nothing much shocks me these days as far as this stuff is concerned :(

  12. Google Maps FTW! :P

     

    My place - surrounded by water on 3 sides - I love it! :o

     

     

     

    mapa.jpg

     

     

    Are the ppl around there able to swim in those waters?

     

    Very nice pictures everyone! :)

     

    Ohh and how many miles are you from your "old school", Telari?

     

     

    Oh yeh - You can swim anywhere around here - To the left of the picture is Shoalwater Marine Park - a protected area that has some really nice islands ( Seal Island - Penguin Island - Karnac Island ) all named after the wildlife that is saturated on them and an abundance of dolphins. Also surf on some of the reefs. To the north of the picture is an area full of white sandy calm beaches. The water to the direct south is actually a large lake - full of Pelicans. A kilometer south again is the coast once more. Again miles and miles of isolated white beach.

    :)

  13. Ughh - Thats something I have not thought about for a long time. All the old players and friends that have now long gone. :D Makes me feel sad but also happy in that I stay in touch with many of them. I have pangs of envy at times that I am not yet free of the curse XD

     

    Speaking of the decline in the Uni - How do you guys see it panning out? I once thought it would stabilise but now I am not so sure :/

     

    As to the hits - Obviously it stings to see Igs get Ninjad - I built nearly all those dessies and BC's myself :D

     

    Mikas' however I think rocks - a few moaned about the no profit etc - but chances like that are few and far between. I know I would have done it in a flash :D
