Power Up Firefox Tutorial
-=Speed Up Firefox. Browse pages even faster!=-
Forevergeek.com has a useful guide on speeding up firefox for broadband users. This works great!
__________________________________________________ ____________
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.
NOTICE: People say that 8 requests is more then enough. Refer to Polobunny's Thread for an explantion.
__________________________________________________ ______________
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.
If you�re using a broadband connection you�ll load pages MUCH faster now!
Kazuya= It worked for me, I hope it makes you happy too.
