Now lets make your firefox faster


Open Firefox and in the address bar type: about:config

1. Find network.http.pipelining and double click on it so it = true
2. Find network.http.pipelining.maxrequests double click on it and change it from 4 to 100

then your done
this basically makes firefox alot faster

if this buggers up my FF...grrr :)

*does it anyway*

The only thing I can see thats different is that it loads text faster, but, faster text loadage = faster VT loadage, so it's all good

[Techno Monster]

I did it. It is a bit faster, thank you!

Ah yeah I already did this a long time ago lol It just lets your FF load more stuff at once :D

[theOperaGhost]

Well, it made mine faster, so thanks.

[robbiehay1]

Its good to know i can help =D

I dont really like FF I find it rather annoying to tell the truth but still it works fine so I guess I dont have a problem with it.

FF is the easiest browser to code for. I.E. users are actually the worst. Then comes the AOL people (does AOL's browser still exist?). Then the Safari people .Then the Avent people. And FF is the best.

I noticed this helped. Thanks a lot. I was worried because I assumed there would be some repercussions, but I guess not. Thank you.

I did this configuration to my FF3, has anyone run into a problem yet? I think I did. When I was on hotmail.com I clicked on a link to open my mail and then nothing happened. I refreshed the page then yielded with the same problem. Only when I restarted FF did the links work. Could this be caused by the speed configuration?

Nah I don't think so, all it does is increase the limit of things its loading so like if your in someones photo album and they've got like 50 pictures in it, normally you wouldn't load as many (4) but then when you changed it, you load 100 at a time.

Or maybe I'm wrong O.O

*raises hand* I, Tom john, have found a problem.

It will no longer load the hotmail "new" version anymore, after logging in and having the "hotmail is loading" shiz, I get a message under the hotmail banner saying "because of an error during loading, you have been temporarily reverted back to the classic version of hotmail." or something similar.

It's not a life threatening option however, just a mild inconvenience.

[robbiehay1]

Well i have not had this problem and i was just on there, i think it may have something to do with the hotamail site its self

[SirRawrsalot]

My FF2 (yep I'm old skewl :P ) is fine. Whoever is using hotmail shouldn't be allowed to access it anyways... lol

[robbiehay1]

Oh yeah forgot to say this works with all versions of firefox and yes hotmail is rubbish googlemail FTW

[Ryandel]

Weird... I got the new version of hotmail working... Anyways. I'm reverting minre back to the previous options. I don't see much of a difference except the text.

Yeah I tried this when I used firefox, it makes it a lot faster because it seems like the longer you have firefox the slower it goes. I even used a plug-in called fasterfox which did help make firefox faster, but still not as fast as Safari.

In the end I dumped firefox and now i use Apple's Safari. It's much faster pages looks a lot cleaner, and the whole feel of is very modern.
