Make youre Firefox MUCH MUCH faster

[mushi]

Hi all;

For all of those who use Firefox, heres another reason why this browser kicks ass. I found this on a websites and it makes my firefox works much much faster.

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 receives.

If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages MUCH faster now!

Why wouldn't you post this here? I'm glad you did post it here. This forum is like a website unto itself. It's somewhat self-contained.

Will these setting changes work for dial-up as well as broadband?

[grimel]

Shouldn't make much of a difference. Dial-up can't handle the data through put.

I'm guessing he did due to the increased use of Firefox from Zoo members over the last week or so. This was all in response to the keyloggers and "I lost my Neteller money" threads.

The OP as well as Mark's response first appeared in the General hold'em forum.

This probably is the correct forum for the mentioned reason. OOT would be good too.

How do you move a thread?
