Speed up Firefox

[loungelizard]

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

1. Type "about:config" (without the quotes) into the address bar and hit enter.
Scroll down and look for the following entries:

network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
network.http.pipelining
network.http.proxy.pipelining

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: (Right Click on an entry and in the Context Menu click on ?Toggle? to change ?False? to ?True?.)

Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.

Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"


3. Lastly, right-click anywhere and select New-> then click on ?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 receives.

If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages 2-3 times faster now.

I was able to do the first three things you suggested. But wasnt able to put a new entry in called "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set it to zero. I'm using a Mac so there's no right click to make a new entry. Not sure how to make a new entry on a Mac. Let me know if you do. Changing the first 3 you listed seems to have helped.

Thanks

Not sure if the last one on your list is needed. It seems to be running pages faster. And I dont know how to make a new one. Oh well. If someone does, please list it.
