Speed Up Firefox

[imported_Eclipse]

From www.freerepulic.com:

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!

Yep, I did that awhile ago, and it really does speed it up.

Thanks alot !! it works and i could search things more faster :P btw does it do any side effects ? meaning if it still blocks viruses/spyware if there is in some website ?

I can&#39;t completely understand what you just said, but I&#39;m pretty much positive that their are no side effects.

My comp was probably already fast enough, but faster is always better.
