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.

Wow man ! Thanks for the info ! Just did it, and I can see a real difference ! thanks !

this is a badass tweak.. i did this to my browsers at home about a month ago.. desktop and latop... its greatness

Yeah, it really does make a difference.

Anthony will you hold me?

this rocks

Sure thing Cuddly wuddly fun bear!

cuddly wuddly fun bear????????????????

that does not sound like the Anthony i know :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

suh-weeeeeeeet and thank you kindly -- been falling behind in FF tweaks.

interesting! I'll give it a try

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

I'll test it right now. Hang on.

But IE doesn't have tabs :)

I like the tweak :)

Thanks Anthony for sharing with us this wonderful info.

Regards,

JohnShinil.

yeah this tweak works great someone posted it here awhile ago. Good stuff.

I tried to reach you yesterday but your icq # is wrong in your sig. One too many 3's :)

And.........????

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.

to get rid of the load time delay delete that LatestHeadlines button thats the cause.

Where is that at?

lol i cant find it now since i deleted mine.. but its in the quick links bar I think theres also a button for Getting Started?

I don't see either of these things.

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

thx :thumbsup

Much faster load times. Thanks.

good tip :thumbsup

I seen part of the tweak before and redid it ...Seems to be so much faster now :thumbsup

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.

it's so fucking fast just the way your mother likes it

Its always loaded fast for me... IE can kiss our asses. :thumbsup

seems faster. :thumbsup

loading much faster
nice

yeah that's much faster, cool

sorry man.. stilll prefer IE.. no one has convinced me yet that firefox is worthwhile

Thanks for the tips! :thumbsup

awesome :)

if only we could tweak it to handle CSS properly

Fucking nice. Thanks... You should put a little, Paypal v at weasel.net $1 if you need to spend money or something.

You are retarded

fucking instant! Thanks! How the hell do you guys find out about these things?

It does but you have to follow the web rules and not e.i. rules :)

You must have a slow computer, or a shitty video card. I think you're experiencing screenlag, because the rendering time of Firefox is much faster than that of IExplore.

Tried it, and yeah it loads faster :thumbsup Thank you :winkwink:

Mr Jackson,

I sure hope you're kidding, because if you read up on W3C standards, like anyone who calls themself a webmaster should, you would know that Firefox is compliant, and that Internet Explorer is pathetically inaccessible.

Try a test and run your spyware removal programs daily(not those free ones ,they aren't effective enough)
I was getting atleast 30 instances every day in IE ...now I'm down to maybe 10 using Firefox now..

Let me rephrase: If we could find a way to make FireFox match IE's CSS standards, or vice-versa. It's IMPSOSIBLE to code the CSS to work on both browsers, and since 95% of the porn visiting world still uses IE...

been posted before, just under some other weird thread

Did it when I first installed firefox.
