Speedier Firefox

[EPoX Tech]

Found this

    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!

Found it on a link from [H] of all places at http://forevergeek.com/open_source/m...fox_faster.php

You can have some Yuletide goodness too Dan - I'm sat here with some Glenfiddich and coke working my way around the finaries of the $_POST commands exploits at the moment!!!

An altogether worthwhile pursuit I'm Sure! ":O}

I'm not an expert in this but aren't 30 requests at once a little too much for a server? One user might not change anything but if all using maxrequests 30 I bet it would.
I think maxrequests 10 are enough. Compared to the standard of 4 it's much faster + it's the setting most tweak tools set for IE for example.

Besides that the suggestions are pretty nice.

Easy going for any real server

This is fast, no doubt about it.

Thanks ET !

I understand that XP SP2 limits the number of requests to 10

[EPoX Tech]

Just passing on information from elsewhere that has shown great benefits for many.

Setting for 30 within Firefox sets a buffer stack, not a bottleneck.

Can you explain that in non technical terms please

[EPoX Tech]

I see a different kind of deja vu.

Well it's still appreciated that you posted it here, or else I wouldn't have seen it.
That was enough for me to DL Firefox ( I was getting tired of DL'ing browsers that were buggy, and/or offered little more speed), and after the tweaks it blows opera,IE,Slimbrowser, and netscape away.

Cheers buddy!
