mozilla and internet explorer speed

[Mr. Rogers]

For some reason, when I use Firefox my internet speed is less than 300kbps, but when I use Internet Explorer I get speeds of almost 600kbps. I used www.numion.com to test my speeds. Does anyone have a clue how I can get the same fast speed on Firefox?

Yeah... Win a lawsuit against Microsoft that forces them to take the code out of windows which slows any other browser traffic to 1/2.

I'm serious. Other than that, you can't. I couldn't get any response out of the server - other than "waiting..."

[Mr. Rogers]

they really have a code in window that slows all other browsers down? that's like...evil O_O stupid microsoft. *plots to change to linux*

weird, i expected firefox to be faster, maybe something in IE that firefox doesn't have? Ill ask my friend about this
