Speed Up Firefox...


If you want to increase the speed of FireFox and you have a broad band connection, I recommend this change.

"SPEED UP MY BROWSER"!
  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
  2. 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.

  3. Alter the entries as follows:
    • 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)

  4. Lastly right-click ANYWHERE and select New-> Integer.
    Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and SET IT'S VALUE TO "0"
    (This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves.).
