Firefox Speed Boost - GoFuckYourself.com

Gottis · 12-23-2004, 02:48 PM

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.

interesting, anyone else tried it already?

candyflip · 12-23-2004, 02:52 PM

Wow. That was simple to do and noticable right away.

Thanks!

arial · 12-23-2004, 02:54 PM

Nice! Thanks!

CrazyLunatic · 12-23-2004, 02:55 PM

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

AdultNex · 12-23-2004, 02:57 PM

I don't notice a significant improvement, but thanks anyways!

dirtysouth · 12-23-2004, 02:57 PM

Nice! Seeing a nice increase.

More Booze · 12-23-2004, 02:58 PM

OMG! Try to surf to a thumb TGP. ~3-5 seconds load time. Amazing.

Thanks a lot Jon!

Fatalspeed · 12-23-2004, 03:00 PM

wow thanks this really works! pages load alot faster

The Sultan Of Smut · 12-23-2004, 03:01 PM

Just tried it and things do seem a lot quicker.

MrJackMeHoff · 12-23-2004, 03:03 PM

Nice job

azguy · 12-23-2004, 03:03 PM

thanks

iwantchixx · 12-23-2004, 03:04 PM

holy fuck! It made it faster than fucking opera!!!

Mefo · 12-23-2004, 03:05 PM

woha fucking great, it's really fast right now! thnx!

Manowar · 12-23-2004, 03:07 PM

Nice, thanks

killshot · 12-23-2004, 03:13 PM

i dont notice much a difference.

nosey · 12-23-2004, 03:13 PM

sweet! Thx

CrazyLunatic · 12-23-2004, 03:14 PM

Sweet. It works faster. Thanks.

Roald · 12-23-2004, 03:14 PM

It seems to work

iwantchixx · 12-23-2004, 03:15 PM

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

sixxxthsense · 12-23-2004, 03:19 PM

wow thanks,
that spees it up a loT

Rebecca Love · 12-23-2004, 03:21 PM

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

PeekHoles · 12-23-2004, 03:24 PM

Thats for the tip it helped speed me up.

pradaboy · 12-23-2004, 03:32 PM

thanks for the tip, def. noticeable!

loverboy · 12-23-2004, 03:40 PM

it works, bookmarked

slapass · 12-23-2004, 03:43 PM

sweet as heck

Pornwolf · 12-23-2004, 03:46 PM

Very noticeable. Best tip I got all month! Thanks

SomeCreep · 12-23-2004, 03:53 PM

Noticeably faster. Awesome!

tranza · 12-23-2004, 03:56 PM

Does it really work?

I guess I'll give it a try....

WebTitan · 12-23-2004, 03:58 PM

wow! i am a bit suprised, but it seems to have worked, cool

yuvalus · 12-23-2004, 04:01 PM

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

Pornwolf · 12-23-2004, 04:03 PM

Thanks again. This tip is definitely worth a second thanks from me!

Steen2 · 12-23-2004, 04:04 PM

Doesn't seem hugely faster, however I do appreciate it

Maybe due to me using wifi?

Antonio · 12-23-2004, 04:08 PM

Did that a moth ago, didtn't do shit for me, glad it works for some of you.
Iz Opera faster? I'm going to download it now.

Antonio · 12-23-2004, 04:11 PM

Is Opera faster than Maxthon?

KRL · 12-23-2004, 04:12 PM

what do you hit to remove a line?

I accidently just added something and can't find a way to delete or do I now have to go in with regedit?

MacDaddyPlaya · 12-23-2004, 04:45 PM

Seems faster to me, nice tip.

Rebecca Love · 12-23-2004, 04:52 PM

Bump for one heck of a great tip. Now this is what GFY is all about! Thank you Jon!

fischi · 12-23-2004, 04:57 PM

works with the mac version also

More Booze · 12-23-2004, 05:07 PM

I just talked to a friend:

What did you say? Internet 2? No, I use Internet 1 with Firefox.

Ok, not really.

Horny Dude · 12-23-2004, 05:56 PM

Way cool tip!

Ludedude · 12-23-2004, 08:52 PM

Very nice. I have had the paint delay to 0 since ff 0.7 but never played with the pipelining. Thanks for the tip

wdsguy · 12-23-2004, 09:13 PM

works good :-)

KRL · 12-23-2004, 09:19 PM

OK got it perfect now. Thanks!!

Mr. Mike · 12-23-2004, 09:21 PM

bad ass! thanks! works perfect!

xclusive · 12-23-2004, 09:22 PM

Nice little boost thank you...

Webmaster_Logic · 12-23-2004, 09:27 PM

Good post man! Click of the button pages change just like that!

Vitasoy · 12-23-2004, 09:40 PM

Nice just did it, thanks for the heads up

MikeVega · 12-23-2004, 09:40 PM

seems to work pretty well

AkiraSS · 12-23-2004, 09:58 PM
