Firefox (Tony Gentilcore) recenlty updated Fasterfox to version 2.0 :) WOOT!
This can be downloaded here: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1269/
********************************************************
Only use the following if you are using 1.5.* and below:
After I updated to Firefox 2.0 one of my favorite add-ons was not working, but after some searching I found this simple work-around to update the file so that it works with Firefox 2.0 at least until a current version is updated.

- Save the xpi Installer on your disk
- open fasterfox-1.0.3-fx.xpi with Winzip etc (you could also rename the .xpi extension to .zip and open it with Windows 'Compressed (zipped) folders')
- Extract and then edit the file install.rdf (with notepad etc)
- Search for "1.5.0.*"
- Change that to "2.0"
- Save the file, then add it back to the fasterfox-1.0.3-fx.xpi file.
- Drag & drop fasterfox-1.0.3-fx.xpi into the "Add-on-Manager"
- Restart Firefox
Info on Fasterfox:
--------------------------
Performance and network tweaks for Firefox.
Fasterfox allows you to tweak many network and rendering settings such as simultaneous connections, pipelining, cache, DNS cache, and initial paint delay.
Dynamic speed increases can be obtained with the unique prefetching mechanism, which recycles idle bandwidth by silently loading and caching all of the links on the page you are browsing.
A popup blocker for popups initiated by Flash plug-ins is also included.

The dude abides.
