    Firefox Users - Speed up your browser

    I don't think it's bee posted before, so for my fellow firefox users, this literally kicks up firefox a shitload. I open up multiple tabs when I use Firefox, all the sites loaded instantly. Have fun, and remember to shut down Firefox after you do the changes.



    1.Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit enter. 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.

    Set "browser.turbo.enabled" - to "true"

    Set "network.dns.disableIPv6 - to "true"

    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 receives.

                      Still slower than IE. Especially on pages with loads of graphics. Sorry.

                                Good for you. I have always said as soon as somebody fixes the problem with the load time I might switch. Still not fixed. When I had to shut the browswer down because the WEATHER CHANNEL website caused it to fuck up that's just sad.

                                          maybe you dont have the buttons then? I dont know mine were just underneath the address bar. They were installed their by default and everytime I would load firefox I would have to wait for it to connect to their server and download these stupid news headlines. After I deleted those quick launch buttons the startup time improved dramatically. - Good luck

                                                    No I don't have these and I'm sorry but FireFox still loads like I'm on a Pentium II 500 MHz on 56K dial up.

                                                          seems faster.
                                                          SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.

It's IMPSOSIBLE to code the CSS to work on both browsers, and since 95% of the porn visiting world still uses IE...
