Some Easter eggs from Mozilla Firefox:

On the URL type about:mozilla and some weird story will appear. I don’t know about the origin of this but you should give it a try.

On the URL type about:robots this should work on Firefox 3. Again, this is a really random easter egg.

Enjoy!

Have you ever noticed that when using Firefox and opening many tabs, Firefox eats up a lot of RAM, well maybe its not true for people that have computers with 2 gigs of RAM. Anyway, here is a way to reduce considerably the use of RAM used by Firefox; when you minimize Firefox, it will free up some RAM, well, not some; A LOT.

If you are using dial-up, don’t bother checking this post. But for Broadband users, this really works!

Straight to the steps;

Before you do this, be sure that you know what you are doing.

1. Type “about:config” without quotes on the adress bar and hit enter. If you are using Firefox 3, click on the “I’ll be careful, I promise!” button. And Promise you’ll be careful.
2. Next, on the filter, search for:

“network.http.pipelining“, double click it, and change the value to ‘true‘
“network.http.proxy.pipelining“, double click it and change its value to ‘true‘
then set “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to some number like 40. Now it will make 40 requests at once.

3. Now right click anywhere inside the page and select new -> integer, and name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set the value to 0.

How it works? Normally the browser makes one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it makes several requests at once, which really helps pages load much faster.
