A note on the Fasterfox plugin: adding the following two lines of code to the root

that’s terribly ironic or just funny.

Update: we removed the SEO Links Fx Plugin (404 link removed 2012/06/26) due to conflicts with both Lightbox and FancyTooltips (plugin for WordPress). Our exclusive article, Lightbox + FancyTooltips Bug Fix, describes and solves a conflict between Lightbox and FancyTooltips. The methods described in the article may be useful in resolving the issue encountered with SEO Links for Firefox when Lightbox or FancyTooltips is also present.

I’ve used Fasterfox for quite a while now, and though it occasionally slows down new pages I visit, pages I regularly visit it speeds up surfing a LOT!
I’ve found a link for a tweaked version of Fasterfox, called rather cheesly Fastererfox. It allows you to grab web pages even faster with some new options which can be changed by the rather cool sounding “Thrash” option in the properties box.
