Make Firefox much faster!!

Firefox Tweak by .:: D i G G i T y ::.

Since a lot of us have been using the new Firefox browser as an alternative to Internet Explorer I thought I'd post some tweaks that really speed it up.

First, type “about:config” into the address bar and load the config page.

Then create a new integer value by right-clicking anywhere on the config page. Name your new entry nglayout.initialpaint.delay and set the value to zero. This setting controls the time that Firefox waits to take action on the information it recieves.

Next you need to take a look at the settings related to pipelining.

These entries are listed in alphabetical order. Scroll down the config page and find the following:

network.http.pipelining
network.http.proxy.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

Pipelining allows Firefox to make simultaneous requests for a web page instead of being limited to a single request. This increases the overall speed of page loading.

Enable pipelining by setting each value to true.

--> network.http.pipelining = true
--> network.http.proxy.pipelining = true
--> network.http.pipelining.maxrequests = 25-35

The maxrequests value defines the maximum number of simultaneous requests for a particular page Firefox can use.

Enjoy!!!!
