Surf faster with Firefox

The Emperor · 05-23-2007, 02:30 AM

Guys, i've done this and it works. It's really faster, believe me; try it, you won't regret. My friend told me about this and it's great! The pages and their content load much faster!

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!

and then you need to restart firefox after the changes?

Man, are you sure? I mean i wouldn't post this if it didn't work by me.

What's your speed? I have 5.1 here and it's damn fast, especially after this tip/trick.

takes like 20 seconds for me, just like before. Could be becuase we sit on a network here at work.

Try it at home and let me know.

I've tried it yesterday at home and today at work and it's the same, works great!
