Firefox Tricks To Boost Your Speed

[uiop 0]

The FasterFox extension does the same thing and is easily configuable/has more options.

You can download it here.

Yeah, I have used Fasterfox before and it does bring up the speed of firefox quite a bit. I would recommend fasterox because it is easy to install, just like an add on, and very customizable.

Hello! I saw, that someone has picked up this tutorial so I have to add comment:) So, you know, this tutorial is very good, but not for new version of Mozilla Firefox! I`ve got Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.4 and I can`t find the last strind, so do others with 1.5.0.4 and 1.5.0.1 versions... So I found have to do that with news versions of Mozilla:

Go to about:config

Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 14. This means it will make 14 requests at once.

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.

I couldn`t find the real one, so here is something on that way!

EDIT: Mod please delete.Ironically, my Firefox crashed while Buffalo posted his reply so I was unable to see he said to post further discussions to that link.My apologies.Awesome, thanks a lot for the tutorial. You can tell the difference after making the changes you suggested.

I just tested this and it does make the pages start loading significantly faster, asthough images and smiliar material still loads at the same speed.

not much of improvement than beforethough some of the sites worked faster than before but hardly saw a differencemaybe will work better when i open multiple sites

Well I figured out that point here is that you cannot boost it anymore then it is already everything is just in your mind and even if there is boost you want notice any significance because you are not loading any large data like when you have downlaod accelerator and it boosts your download by several same downloades of the same file because file is largere but the thing is that sites are much much smaller then this and they cannot be downloaded in that way to make any significant change over time.
