FireFox Speed TIP and FAQ

[BlueMonster]

As if Firefox wasn't fast enough, here's a way to make pages load even faster.

This presumes you have Cable or DSL, not sure how it will work with dial up :?
(don't type in the quotation marks, put spaces just as I have them)

1) type "about:config" into the address bar, 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:
(to toggle "false" to "true" just double left click on that entry, to change a value, right click and select)

Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"
Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"
Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to a 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 it's value to "0". This is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives. That's it! Enjoy!

I set my network.http.pipelining.maxrequests, to 60, seems perfect.

Simple Tweak, I gave up on IE7-8, I'm now an Official FireFox Nerd!! :eek:

Love it!!

Note:: I apologize if this info has already been posted, I just don't have

hours to sift through this site, Sorry

Ok well Thanks mansrm81 (that's one Heck of a Handle :D)

I can delete it or leave it so folks that don't know or are new to this Forum can

find it easy, either way, makes not a bit of difference to me, Shawn has my

permission to do what he wants as well.
