A note on the Fasterfox plugin: adding the following two lines of code to the root robot.txt file will spare servers from heavy loads caused by the plugin's enhanced prefetching feature.

user-agent: Fasterfox
disallow: /

Update: we removed the SEO Links plugin 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.
