How do I complete the final step in overclocking firefox for faster loads, since I have had the new version it does not allow me to right click( sorry for a noobsih question as such)

Overlocking firefox

I've heard of overclocking cpus, i.e., increasing the megahertz but I've not heard of overclocking an application.

I can right-click just fine in the latest official release. Try dumping your firefox caches and/or preferences to see if that restores right-clickability.

How do you overclock a piece of software? They don't have clocks.

This is where I found the how-to for it:

MacMod.com - Your Mac Modification HQ - Overclock Your Firefox Browser

Ugh. Quite a few of the things there are bad ideas/don't work. For example, setting max requests to 30 does nothing, since it's capped at 8 anyway.

It's also definitely not "overclocking", they're just using that word for effect.

So your actual question is:

"How do I add a custom setting to Firefox in the about:config dialog?"

I don't know, but I wouldn't suggest removing the page display delay. That doesn't speed up page loading. In fact it slows it down. It just appears to be faster because it keeps you entertained watching the page display progressively.

Also note that pipelining is turned off for a reason. It's experimental and may not work with some websites. And the maximum of simultaneous requests in Firefox is 8, so their suggestion to set this value to 30 is a bit nonsensical.

Lol so the entire thing is pretty much useless then? Thanks for a lesson, no to go back on change things back to the way its supposed to be

try these: speeding up firefox - Google Search
