2 Great Firefox Tips - GoFuckYourself.com

1) It comes with tabbed browsing but any process that usually opens a new browser still will (like links out of GFY) until you instal the little 41kb add on at: https://addons.update.mozilla.org/ex... ndows&id=158

Then just go into your TOOLS > OPTION > Tabbed Browsing and yadda yadda click the right thing and it's all in tabs now.

2) I saw this here I think. It makes Firefox fast as shit:

a. 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.

b. 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.

c. 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.

The folks in Redmond gotta be sweating bullets now. Some sites are reporting Firefox browser share at 25%.

I read somewhere that the about:config stuff (one of the mozilla dev blogs i think..) that they dont actually help. Some of the changes make the page render more quickly, but your browser might actually have to do more work by having to render the page progressively as the content reaches you..
