How to Use Google Web Accelerator With Firefox 3 |
|
Thursday, 26 June 2008 |
Google Web Accelerator isn't officially compatible with Firefox 3, at the moment. This means that current users of the products don't really get the speed they are used to. At the same time, there are probably people out there who think the idea of an accelerator sounds interesting, and would like to try it, but they've already installed Firefox 3.
Well, there is a little hack you can do to get it working; however it doesn't enable the little time savings counter, which you can probably live without until the accelerator is upgraded.
To do this, all you need to do is open the Firefox Options (Tools > Options > Network > Advanced > Settings), and tick the box that says "Automatic Proxy Configuration URL."
In the box, enter this: http://localhost:9100/proxy.pac
Restart Firefox, and watch the little accelerator icon "Rev Up" as you look at websites...you've got the Accelerator again!
If you don't already have Firefox, get it here:
