I was wondering if it is possible to control the upload or download speed of a specific task in Firefox on Ubuntu 10.10?
I have an uploading task in particular that significantly reduces my download speed.

Well, up until Firefox 3.5, I was using an extension called Firefox Throttle but it's not compatible with later versions of the browser. The most effective way to do throttling is by using a router that has this feature or, if you already have a compatible router, you might want to consider overwriting the factory firmware with DD-WRT, OpenWRT or Tomato (all have application-oriented QoS). Another option would be to use wondershaper and trickle. They're Linux applications; you can probably 'apt-get install' them. I just couldn't find a Firefox extension that can throttle bandwidth that's compatible with latest Firefox versions (3.6 and up). | ||||
