Firefox Users: Learn How to Load Pages Faster

[Underage_Thinker]

Wile i was sifting through some text documents i have, i found this useful tutorial on how to make FF run faster. This will probably only help those with a broadband connection.

Here's something for broadband people that will really speed Firefox up:

"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:

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 (zero). This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves.

If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages MUCH faster now!"

*sits and waits for the FF VS Avant debate to ensue*

You know, theres a much easier way to make firefox faster, uninsall it.. then install Avant :)

[DomSoulWraith]

lol Ya, he's right.I don't really like ff.

I've tried that awhile back. When my comp reformatted I lost the settings but I don't think I really noticed a difference.

Like what I say of how?
Lol might want to change that.

Yada yada, just install FasterFox, it does all this for you and lets you change it quicker.

ROFL, Firefox.... use internet explorer,

[Zazu]

Lol, thanks for that. FF is so muck fucking quicker now lol.

[Kiros]

True... Internet Explorer uses Pipelining automatically; which also means Avant Browser, AOL Browser, and Maxthon all do the same.

Just get Avant Browser (yeah, I said that in this thread) :P

i duly applied the above mentioned tweeks, but on checking my speed using

Speedtest (http://www.ip-details.com/internet-speed-test/) the speed never inceased it remaind the same 5 Mbps,

but my browsing speed and performance was much better now with out any glitches

Major bump there, but as a response to your post.
The tweaking of Firefox does not change the speed of your internet connection, as they are two different things completely. Personally I think Firefox tweaking is weak and makes minimum affect because it's all dependent on your internet connection rather than loading websites.
