A Message from Mozilla

We’re not quite ready yet!

We’re just as excited as you are for our upcoming release, but we’re still putting the finishing touches on Firefox 3: preparing the new mozilla.com website, getting our severs ready for downloads, and doing our final pre-launch checks. You can follow our progress if you’d like!

The files in this directory are – for now – only meant to be used by our testers. Downloading them directly can harm our ability to distribute Firefox efficiently, and will also not be counted as part of our attempt to set a Guiness World Record for the most software downloads in a day.

If you’d like to be notifed the minute that we launch, please go to sign up for Download Day. Or just head over to getfirefox.com on Tuesday, June 17th after 10am PDT.

Speeding Up Internet Explorer

May 29, 2008   Shubhamoy   No comments

Hello Friends,

Do you know that on an average nearly 25% users are using Internet Explorer as their browser. So I thought to tell you a method to tweak Internet Explorer. Here I begin:

  1. Press Window Button + R or click Start Menu->Run. After that type regedit (it will open Windows Registry Editor).
  2. Try to open this key:
  3. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\InternetSettings
  4. Now right-click on the right panel showing many values. Select New->DWORD Value.
  5. Enter this MaxConnectionsPerSever as the name of the DWORD value. Press ENTER.
  6. Double click the value and enter 4 in Value Data.
  7. Create another DWORD Value with name MaxConnectionsPetr1_0Sever.
  8. Double click this value and enter 8 in Value Data.
  9. Now close Windows Registry Editor. Restart Internet Explorer.
  10. And now you may notice change in loading of websites.

And if you think that nothing happens then there is only one alternative that is to switch from Internet Explorer to Mozilla Firefox or Apple Safari.

Note:

Well, there are websites which provide many tweaks. I am mentioning two of them:

Well friends here is a link to the statistics of browsers used by W3Schools. Click Here. You may notice that Apple Safari has a share of 2-3% but though companies like Yahoo! and Hotmail don’t bother, if you ever happen to use New Yahoo! Mail with Safari it gives you an error that your browser is not supported and same with Hotmail. Well, do you know how advanced browser is Apple Safari. Read this review by CNET to find out more.
