Well it’s a bit of a problem we can’t help it unless FF team do something about it..but what we can do is, we can tell Fire Fox not to use any resources when you are not browsing around. without further talking here we go!!

01. Open your Fire Fox

02. on your Address bar type  about : config

1

03.  Click “I’ll be careful, I promise!” Button

2

Then it will display you the Fire Fox settings list.

04. Right Click Anywhere on the list from the context Menu New >> Boolean

3

05. as the setting value enter config.trim_on_minimize then Click OK

41

06. on the next window select true then click OK

5

07. Restart Fire Fox.

That’s it.. simply what you did is, you instructed Fire Fox to release the resources when you are minimizing your browser which it holding on while it’s active .

I experienced a much more faster performance on FF after doing this.. try it and post your reply to me..

All of you guys who are familiar with my previous post, which is my testimony of purchasing AirTel unlimited data connection (if not click here ) and the the great care that I had, this is the latest update.. the serivce sucks!!!! and I have decided to disconnect, Just called and applied for an ADSL connection.. hope that will at least allow me to browse peacefully… , early last month (March 2009), I start experiencing a very slow connection (slow means  very very very slow ), the download speed was 4Kbps – 9Kbps (most of the times go below 2Kbps as well) ,

So as always I called the customer care (which I really love to call), so as the  basic procedure, they took a complain and gave me a complain number (very surprising), though my impatient waves were rising inside me I spoke to the guys very kindly. now they were suppose to contact me, the time frame is 3 – 4 days.. (why..? they want to monitor my connection to detect the problem), ok it was 5 days after my complaing there was no reply.. I decided to call back.. (I was feeling so good .), again I kindly asked from them what’s happening..

the answer was.

They are having a cell overloading problem (Technically). the basic expansion of that word is.. because  lack  of towers around my area. they have expanded the signal and overloaded the user base covering other areas near to me, so in that case. (Dehiwela, Mt. Lavinia, Rathmalana, Moratuwa,)  all those areas are filled and overloaded so.. simply everybody in those areas should be going through the same thing that I am going through now.

Now were these people blind, def or were so stupid  not to detect these sites are overloading ..? , or were they keep selling connections greedily for the sake of money..? or both..?
now it’s almost end of April 2009. I mean if we are paying our bills in full amount, I belive we deserve a good service, when they knew that the sites are unable to handle the user base with the promised service quality , they should have stop selling connections to those areas atleast to safe guard and provide a good service to the people who have purchased it already, now nobody getting anything , I use to have a 35-60Kbps avarage download speed through out the day.. now I can’t even go on a video chat on Skype.. if I do I have to stop browsing..

And these genius people has bloked all the ports. the UDP protocol is not working.. (if anybody from AirTel reading this.. just to let you know that your clients are not stupid) non of the UDP based applications will work (Even Flash Applicaitons).. they are filtering traffic.

so far NO CALL OR REPLY ABOUT MY COMPLAIN  but FOR THE LAST WEEK, 3 PEOPLE CALLED ME FROM CUSTOMER CARE  TELLING ME TO SETTLE A BILL OF 1800/= . great huh..??

Anyway I am fed up.. I have already decided to move on from these jargons and get a ADSL connection. once ADSL is there I’m gonna say BYE BYE to AirTel.
