Very slow bandwidth, need much more control on web2.0 sites, especially over asynchronous calls
We are on satellite internet. It runs at roughly dialup speeds 2-7kb/sec.
Web2.0 has been a disaster for slow connections around the world (GPRS,Edge,Packet Radio,dialup, long distance WiFI. It's not just the amount of extra bandwidth that is needed but also the lack of control.
You can do a lot to reduce bandwidth: pictures off, plugins click to play, disable flash/pdf embedded everything, proxy compress like Opera Turbo etc etc but I can't see ways to see and control web2.0 processes. For example, is there any way to load Facebook as a static page without the asynchronous calls going on in the background? The mobile version seems better but it's hard to say.
Of course it would be best if website developers themselves had some consideration and did things like label images, especially the "reply" button on forums... but that is no solution - you're not going to be able to change the world this way - better to learn how to know more about the browser internals itself.

That sounds off topic for this fora. How is that related to Firefox browser support?
