    Firefox Speed Boost

    This one actually works, believe it or not. My Firefox saw a nice little speed increase. Found it at the overclockers uk forum.

    Merry christmas everybody!

    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 2-3 times faster now.

          Guess if it didn't work you could just reinstall Firefox. I might give it a try.

                                        hrm, still though, I preffer opera. Opera renders differently in many ways that pages with lots of heavy graphics are faster in opera.

                                            wow, speed boost!

                                            Thank you so much. That did speed it up a lot. How high can you set the "nglayout" integer without going to far?

                                                          Does it really work?

                                                          I guess I'll give it a try....
                                                          I'm just a newbie.

                                                              Nice find. Firefox was already faster than IE and now it is a bit better. Now I shall have to tweak the other setings....
