k, i did this.......tytytytytty

this may not be ff related, but for the past two weeks, whenever i was loading pages they were timing out a lot, like every third page i was loading, reloading the page worked almost everytime, especially the 2p2 forums...? any geeks have an idea why?

I have not changed my settings but i have also been having lots of timeout issues.

I don't see a reason to avoid turning on pipelining on a dialup. The benefit of pipelining mainly comes from reducing the effect of latency on a long number of sequential requests... Remember, we're talking about pipelining, not concurrent connections.

I do recommend against changing initialpaint on the dialup though.

so your ff timesout too?

Just a shameless bump because, while I haven't had problems like this, I'm having other problems, and wondering if they might be related. My problems are as follows:

A) iGM sites hate cashing me out. I don't understand, but any time I try to cashout normally I get an error about my bank account number being incorrect even though I'm going to NETeller. I have to copy/paste the cashout screen address into firefox, where some of the options disappear, but then it works. However, this is only a fix for PayPro. If I'm on one of their casinos, I have to e-mail the ezEcash people everytime I want a cashout.

B) Other casino software won't work. I'm not gonna go dishing out the names, but for all you whores, you know those casinos where when you sign in you have to watch those lame ass little movies? Also, it's the ones that are so nice as to switch your desktop resolution. Well, to actually sign up, you click 'Connect' and then on some link saying something like "Become a REAL money player." I think that's it, but I don't know for sure because EVEY TIME I CLICK ON CONNECT I GET A GOD DAMN BLANK SCREEN!!! All of the casino's buttons are there as usual, but on the browser-type screen it's just a solid background. No links. No nothing.
If I click 'Back to Game Lobby' the sign-in box comes up, and I can click on a button about becoming a real player there, but the same problem occus. Blank background, no links.

Seriously, I uninstalled/reinstalled firefox. I ran the programs when I didn't even have ff on my computer. I did it with and without my firewall turned on. I'm completely lost.

Ok, more information. So, I'm installing shockwave, and it works, and then it opens an IE window. Suddenly, a windows security thing pops up on my IE window (never seen that before, but I never use IE). It says, "Your security settings do not allow Web sites to use ActiveX controls installed on your computer. This page may not display correctly. Click here for options..."

Well, I clicked there for options, and of course, there weren't any options, just the bullshit help page. Could the ActiveX mess be causing me problems? Is there a way to fix it?

3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-&gt; Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives.

Is there a way to reverse step 3? What was the default?

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm glad this thread was bumped. I still want to reverse step 3. It takes forever for my Firefox to fully load pages with a lot of images. When I test it against IE the difference is huge. Is there a way to undo this? Set the integer to a non zero number? I tried uninstalling, but it didn't seem to work. Maybe I'll try that again and make sure to delete all registry keys, etc?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

And no one has answers either, which is what worries me the most. I hope everyone is reading through this thread before they go effing around with the default settings.

Close Firefox.
Start-&gt;Run notepad
File-&gt;Open
c:\Documents and Settings\&lt;your name&gt;\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\default\*\prefs.js
Remove entries as desired.

I'm not sure but I suspect removing firefox from your pc is leaving the settings behind and you are getting them back at reinstallation time. Just a guess. Remove and search for prefs.js

Mmbt:
Open IE.
Tools-&gt;Internet options
Security
Internet
Custom Level
Change anything with activeX to prompt.
