Publisher's description
From Tony Gentilcore :Fasterfox allows you to tweak many network and rendering settings such as simultaneous connections, pipelining, cache, DNS cache, and initial paint delay. Dynamic speed increases can be obtained with the unique prefetching mechanism, which recycles idle bandwidth by silently loading and caching all of the links on the page you are browsing. A pop-up blocker for pop-ups initiated by Flash plug-ins is also included.
CNET Editor's Note: The Download Now link will prompt a local download of the Firefox extension. To install the extension directly, open the file using your Firefox browser.

Version: Fasterfox 0.7.9
Pros: version 0.8.1 has been out for a few days now, so why is 0.7.9 just now up? Anyways, it's a great extension. I especially like the easy to use java blocker.

Version: Fasterfox 0.7.9
"Hard to notice the difference"
Pros: Easy to configure
Cons: Didn't seem to improve much of anything and made certain web graphics not load. Had to uninstall. Once it was gone, all graphics started to load just fine. More than coincidental I'd say.

Version: Fasterfox 0.7.9
"Some good aspects, but doesn't seem to deliver on all promises"
Pros: Pop up blocking for java a good feature. I have not had pop ups at all now. Caching has improved speed with returning to prior loaded pages.
Cons: I have seen no visible speed improvements in downloading web pages or pages with new content.
