So uninstall and reinstall and start over. NO? Isn't that the fun in tweaking?

Making changes to your browser will not speed up your internet, all you did was attempt to speed Firefox up!

It is almost impossible to speed up your internet, you get what you get, if your getting lower then stated by your ISP you need to talk to them.

If you want to reset Firefox back to where it was, go here... http://www.browserla...ninstalling-it/

There is a saying out there, some people need to remember this... if it is not broke, don't fix it.

You also have not mentioned what you have, Cable - DSL - Dial-Up - Heaven forbid Hughesnet.

Try creating a new firefox profile, your new profile will start up with defaults, my recomendation before tweaking firefox its to back up your profile using FEBE,
