Speed up Firefox...

(1/2) > >>

Sirgod:
Will try this tomorrow, but I've seen It at a few Differant tech forums.

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.

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.

Monty:
let us know if you have noticed any speedup...

Sirgod:
whoops, meant to get back on this one. yes I did notice a Slight speed up. Esp. on Sights I haven't visited before. On sites like this one, It's about the same actually, But then again, This place has a Perminant place in Cache, so It's only minor changes at anytime.

Where'd you find this little tidbit? I just made the alterations, i'll get back if I notice a change.

Sirgod:
Man I'm tring to remember. It might have been over at the Hannity Forums, FatRepubican is always sharing pc tips, or It could have been any of a large number of tech sites I visit.
