Just downloaded firefox an hour ago and using it no bother, just one annoying problem; every time I download/save a picture or media clip a "downloads" box appears in the top left of the screen and I have to stop and press "x" on it before I can continue. Anyone able to tell me how to stop his download box from popping up
Go to Tools > Options and uncheck "Show the Downloads window when downloadinga file".

The download window is good. Also no need for IE right click rubbish...
Something to make Firefox faster
1.Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:
network.http.pipelining network.http.proxy.pipelining network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.
2. Alter the entries as follows:
Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"
Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"
Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.
3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves.
I can't stop, I can't start
It holds me together while it tears me apart
Please don't do this, it breaches the HTTP RFC and it can hammer webservers. If you want a faster Firefox, use Fasterfox and set it to Optimized.
