yahoo IM keeps dropping me after five minutes or so. I am running windows xp on mozilla firefox. My dialup connection reports 46.4 bps for connection speed. all popup blockers are turned off, there are no proxies to contend with. a microsoft firewall is the only thing connected. java is enables and security is to accept all cookies.

First question, how can I make image quality lower for faster times? The best quality isn’t worth it to me. (I’m on dialup)
Also, any major tips would be appreciated. I already downloaded and am using “fasterfox”

I often have muplitple tabs open. This Transferring data files etc takes for ever to load the page, especially when clicking on a link.
Q/ Why does Firefox need to “transfer data…
Q/ What is Read Cache: …. and Read pluginx… and all the others that are there when loading new page.
Do I need to re-configure or xhange the HTTP. It might also have something to do with my Dialup connection a,s the Status page Activity is very slow. Sent Bytes are lets say 658,052 and the Receiver Bytes are 4,700.885 and the Connection Speed is 46.6 Kbps.. Really hope that someone can help. THANKS!!

I’m over my Yahoo Mail storage limit. I know I need to delete messages until I’m under 1GB, but deleting is proving very difficult. Sometimes, I have difficulty viewing messages in a folder. Other times, I can see the messages, but when I try to delete them, it takes forever to get rid of a single screenfull (and I often get the message “There was a problem accessing your account” when I try). I don’t have any really big messages — the largest are about 200k. I access Yahoo Mail through Firefox or Internet Explorer, using Dialup (approx 52kbps) at various times of day — it doesn’t seem to matter when. I am able to access other websites normally. I have e-mailed Yahoo Customer Support about this and responded to their autoreply, but I haven’t heard anything since. Any suggestions on how I can delete messages and get down to my limit?
