Want to make FireFox browse faster?!
Well here is your chance...I found this on another forum. UNFORTUNATELY FOR DIAL-UP USERS THIS WILL NOT WORK (sorry) Quote »Originally Posted by Another Forum 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 in the "aboug:config" page 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. 4. Restart Firefox If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages 2-3 times faster now. I did this and it's awsome! You can thank me later ![]() |

yea, I heard it speed it up, but at a cost...i think I read somewhere someone posted this, and a guy came back saying it does speed it up, but what it basically does is reduces the number of scans on each page you visit...firefox scans pages for spyware/viruses/popups/ads/whatever, this basically reduces the amount of scans, so basically you are sacrificing privacy/security for speed...

Actually, no. It simply requests multiple pages at once, if you set it at 30, it requests 30 pages at once instead of just one like it usually would. Changing the pipelining to true simply allows it to make multiple requests. The interger that you make sets the time Firefox waits before it acts on the data it recieves. Setting it to 0 means it doesn't wait to act on new information. This is only useful for broadband or cable though, useless for dial-up. I've been using this for a while now. It works pretty good.
