Good choice mayne!

Might I suggest upgrading to 1.0.7, if you haven't already.

Also, I use FireTune as well, however, I noticed that it changed some of the values that allow for faster browsing. To check if yours are set correctly, type "about:config" in your browser address and set as below:

For broadband users:

network.http.max-connections : 64
network.http.max-connections-per-server : 21
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server : 8
network.http.pipelining : true
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests : 100
network.http.proxy.pipelining : true

then right click anywhere in that window and click new>integer with the name "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and the value "0"

This will give a marked increase in browsing speed, pages will load faster, etc.

If you have dial up:

browser.cache.disk_cache_ssl : true
browser.xul.error_pages.enabled : true
content.interrupt.parsing : true
content.max.tokenizing.time : 3000000
content.maxtextrun : 8191
content.notify.backoffcount : 5
content.notify.interval : 750000
content.notify.ontimer : true
content.switch.threshold : 750000
network.http.max-connections : 32
network.http.max-connections-per-server : 8
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy : 8
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server : 4
network.http.pipelining : true
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests : 8
network.http.proxy.pipelining : true
nglayout.initialpaint.delay : 750
plugin.expose_full_path : true
signed.applets.codebase_principal_support : true

Have fun!

Yep, font is right on. I checked it against the file I sent to you, it's identical.

I never use IE, too pop ups/spyware, etc became too irritating.
