Many times we don’t realize that the DNS server/lookup can be very time consuming. This can add to a few seconds of delay for every website page that you load. This happens because the default DNS servers provided by your ISP is crappy, overloaded or just not configured correctly.
There is a solution to improve all this though.
Use a combination of FastCache and the OpenDNS DNS configuration.
FastCache is a caching DNS server that runs on your local machine and handles any DNS request that your computer makes, from Internet Explorer to your favorite FTP client. Rather than specifying the DNS servers of your ISP, you can use the ones provided by OpenDNS.
This combination will help speed up the connections significantly.

Improved Themes for Firefox

The Mozilla Foundation has introduced a new plugin for Firefox called Personas. This brings about a long awaited improvement in the way themes are handled in Firefox.
Personas allows you to change themes on the fly without requiring a browser restart. It also ensures one central location for finding themes for Firefox. The set of themes currently available are limited since the APIs have not yet been opened to developers. This will be changing in the coming days and will surely give Firefox a significant face lift!
The plugin is still supposed to be in Beta, but during my testing I did not find any major glitches to worry about. I did not have to download any themes separately. Just point and click on the theme name using the plugin and in a couple of seconds, Firefox makes the transition to the new look-and-feel.
The plugin works with Firefox 2 and above.
