Only Network

One of my favourite plugins for FireFox used to be one called FasterFox. Here’s what it does:

• Prefetch Links
  Dynamic speed increases can be obtained with Fasterfox’s unique prefetching mechanism, which recycles idle bandwidth by silently loading and caching all of the links on the page you are browsing.
• Tweak Network
  Fasterfox allows you to tweak many network and rendering settings such as simultaneous connections, pipelining, cache, DNS cache, and initial paint delay.
• Page Load Timer
  A millisecond accurate page load timer tests the effectiveness of your settings.
• Block Popups
  A popup blocker for popups initiated by Flash plug-ins is also included.

I liked the prefetch, but that wasn’t my favourite feature. The plugin added a timer at the bottom of the browser to show the load time for the page. It’s an awesome feature which I really miss, and I haven’t found a plugin that does the same thing. Maybe I should just buy myself an IWC Pilot to make up for the loss

Unfortunately the plugin only works up to FireFox v2 and I’m not on v3.1 Beta 2 .. I wish they would update it
