Boost FireFox Speed!

[illy]

Hey guys. It doesn't seem like this has been posted previously, but I was reading the boards at WideScreenGaming forums and a user by the name of ViciousXUSMC has posted quick tweaks to FireFox which made my internet browsing noticeably quicker. Try it out:

1.Type “about:config” into the address bar, and search 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” by right clicking and selecting "toggle."

Set “network.http.proxy.pipelining” to “true” by right clicking and selecting "toggle."

Set “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to some number like 50 by right clicking and selecting "modify." This means it will make 50 requests at once.

3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” in the popup screen and set its value to “0" in the next popup screen. This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives.
