For you guys who use firefox i found an outstanding "how to" guide that really speeds up downloads and page loading speeds. Give it a shot.

I mainly use Firefox for my day to day browsing, reverting only to IE for specific sites which use specific IE code :evil: !

Also, I have made to switch to using Thunderbird as opposed to Microsoft Outlook, a painless experience. And what a relief! All my folders, email accounts, etc were exported over with no problems. The only thing I had to do extra was to retype the passwords for the email accounts.

Highly recommend the switch for both product.

I havent felt the need to switch to thunderbird, as im fine with outlook currently :)

Firefox I have found to be a lifesaver. I get much much faster downloads through ff rather then ie.

I have done some of the tweaks, but on of them basically is opening 10 copies of the same page so it loads faster which kills site bandwidth, so i disabled it.
