speeding up firefox
 

this is an old tweak that was brought back on another site.

might help some of you guys I noticed a bit of a difference

• 1. Type "about:config" in the adress field.[/*:m:a2b12]
• 2. Set the value of network.http.pipelining to "true".[/*:m:a2b12]
• 3. Set the value of network.http.pipelining.maxrequests to "100".[/*:m:a2b12]
• 4. Set the value of network.http.proxy.pipelining to "true"[/*:m:a2b12]
• 5. Set the value of nglayout.initialpaint.delay to "0"[/*:m:a2b12]

#5 needs to be entered manually. Right click choose "add new entry" and choose "Integer"

wasn't able to find the last two strings. They just aren't there and i have "firefox version 1.0"

#4 should be there but might not be if so add it just like you have to add 5

#5 needs to be entered manually. Right click choose "add new entry" and choose "Integer"

what exactly do they do to make it faster eek:

Ok, did everything. Lets see if i notice anything.

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.

"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.

okah cool.
