Mozilla Firefox 3 Instant Back

Do you want the back button to function instantaneously with Mozilla Firefox 3? Wonder why the behaviour changed so much with Firefox 3?

The solution is enabling better caching with Firefox, and making sites use caching.

• To enable this feature, simply type about:config into the address bar and look for the entry

browser. sessionhistory. max_total_viewers

... and change the value from -1 to 5.
Warning: This will cause Firefox to use up much more memory too, but that is a small price to pay if you have lots of memory!

• In addition, you might want to install Bettercache to enable more sites to be cached. Be warned though, there are settings which might compromise security!

Mozilla Firefox 3 does not work with Dlink DIR-655

If you are using Mozilla Firefox 3 with certain routers (especially N-generation routers like the Dlink DIR-655, DIR-635, DIR-625 and others), you might experience issues logging into the administrative interface. So far, I am aware that routers from TrendNet, SMC, Dlink does have products originating from the same source (typically routers with Ubicom chipsets) and are facing this issue.

The interface of the router should be like the following image (if yours is affected).
The problem that you will face when logging into the router's admin interface.

The network connection seems to be down. Press 'Ok' to try again.

This is not an issue with a clean build of Firefox 3, and only occurs when extensions like Firebug, BetterCache or Downloadhelper is used. To login, you can either use another browser or disable the relevant extension. For more details, you might also want to refer to the Mozilla support forum's thread and a post on Downloadhelper's Knowledgebase.
