Speed up browsing - firefox users

[ziglet]

Here's something for broadband people that will really speed Firefox up:

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 MUCH faster now!

also a nice addon is the mozilla ad-blocker. Its scary how they slow down your browsing.

Too bad FX was developed as a linux platform program and followed a "all you can eat" approach on memory management......
Beta testing Maxthon 2 preview version and is happy (although still lots of small glitches but....).

So what?

Does something have to be new and hip to be useful?

For someone like me who never saw the original post I find this very helpful.

Thanks, poster!

You can also get the Fasterfox plugin, does some of these tweaks, but with a nice GUI
