How To Speed Up Firefox (Helpful Vanity)

[KoRn]

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". 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!

How come the message I get says “THis may void your WARRANTY?” I have a warranty on Firefox?????

[KoRn]

Apparently some other folks have gotten that. I’d ignore it.

Of course, warranty warnings usually encourage me to dig into something further. lol

I am sure we can find several sources that would refund the price of Fox Fire.

I also so found that if you don’t want to post not logging in will also speed up response. I can watch from my iPad and come back to my PC if I want to post.
