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! :xmas-smil

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?

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

Thanks!

Nice! Thanks! :thumbsup

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

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

Nice! Seeing a nice increase.

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

Thanks a lot Jon!

wow thanks this really works! pages load alot faster :ticking

Just tried it and things do seem a lot quicker.

Nice job
:xmas-smil

thanks :)

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

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

Nice, thanks :thumbsup

i dont notice much a difference.

sweet! Thx

Sweet. It works faster. Thanks.:)

It seems to work :jester

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

wow thanks,
that spees it up a loT :)

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? :xmas-smil

Thats for the tip it helped speed me up. :smilie_we

thanks for the tip, def. noticeable!

it works, bookmarked

sweet as heck

:eatmouse

Very noticeable. Best tip I got all month! Thanks

Noticeably faster. Awesome! :thumbsup

Does it really work?

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

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

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

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

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

Maybe due to me using wifi?

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.

Is Opera faster than Maxthon?

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?

Seems faster to me, nice tip.

Ho Ho HO
 

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

works with the mac version also :thumbsup

I just talked to a friend:

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


















Ok, not really.
