I did find a Firefox add on called "Faster Fox Lite Page Loader." Which purports to wait longer for connections and use Cache more. I put it in out of desperation when Firefox wouldn't wait for the slow connections at Panera's at all and kept timing out.
I have too fast a connection at home to see what it does but there is a thing on the bottom of Firefox that tells you how long you have been waiting and a preferences button in add ons that can be used to adjust it. Using cache more should create less band use, which would save money in Canada and for somebody still using dial up might make surfing the web still possible. I will report experience if I believe it to be of general interest. -- Robert Mark Wallace 60 Delaware Road Newburgh, NY 12550-3802 Tel: (845) 566-0586 US Cell (845) 264-7228 Ca Cell: (902) 314-4521 _______________________________________________ Mid-Hudson Valley Linux Users Group http://mhvlug.org http://mhvlug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mhvlug Upcoming Meetings (6pm - 8pm) MHVLS Auditorium Apr 6 - Introduction to IPv6 May 4 - Inkscape Jun 1 - Zimbra
