Only Firefox has a fix.
type "about:config" in the address bar.
find "network.enableIDN"
double click it, the status should change to "false", or rightclick and hit toggle

SPEED HACK (pipeline -- about:config version!!!! )

1. Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:

network.http.pipelining
network.http.proxy.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.

2. Alter the entries as follows: (by double clicking them)

Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once. (I changed mine to 100, works great.)

3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves

So, what is this?

Its some options that you should change in firefox to make it move faster and be more secure. I used to do this in opera 5 until that browser became so outdated that the installer corrupted itself after 6 years
