make your mozilla fire fox search faster

[woodeirl]

Hi to all my humble overclockers heres a little tip that makes your mozilla search even faster, try it out and tell me what ye think!

im sorry of this is a repost or in the worng section but i couldnt think of another place to put this tip

here goes......


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 brodband connection you'll load pages 2-3 times faster now.

or if you dont want to know the tech part of it you can download this extension from here but as i tried and tested the link your better off doing it manually for better results

actually i removed the link......

[Edit]

ok for those that like using the MS internet explorer then you can benifit too

heres a guide that tells you how to speed it up for the people who dont know

This tip works with ALL Windows 95/98/NT4/2000/ME/XP/2003 releases + MS Internet Explorer 4/5/6 installed.
This Registry fix speeds up internet/remote (using Windows Explorer and/or Internet Explorer) browsing process considerably on most MS Windows 32-bit machines connected to a network and/or remote computer(s).
This actually fixes a BUG in MS Windows OSes that scan shared (remote) folders/files across network(s) for Scheduled Tasks, and can add a delay as long as 30 seconds (!), because it uses extra time to search the remote computer(s).
First make sure *all* MS IE instances are closed.
Then click start and then run and type Regedit press enter and go to:


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Mcft\Windows\CurrentVe rsion\Explorer\RemoteComputer\NameSpace
In the left hand pane highlight the {D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF} subkey and delete it: right-click on it -> select Delete -> click OK.

RECOMMENDED: Export (BACKUP) this Registry key to a REG file FIRST, to be able to restore it (by running the REG file) if necessary. In Regedit: highlight the key name in the left hand pane -> click "Registry" from the menu -> select "Export Registry File..." -> type a file name in the "File name" field -> browse to the destination of your choice -> push the Save button.

This Registry change takes effect immediately.
Just start MS IE while connected to the network/internet to see the difference.

NOTE: Upgrading to a future MS Internet Explorer release or reinstalling it may add this value to your Registry *again*, therefore you may need to delete it *again* after (re)installing MS IE.

[Lazgoat]

Nice find! I'm using Opera too and found it slightly faster than Firefox before this. Now I'm not sure....

[DiabloAbogado]

Awesome, had some doubts with Firefox cause I've had some issues with ASP pages, but I'd rather use this 10x faster and revert to IE for problem pages! Great Job!

[alexkerhead]

holy smokes, it even worked great on my linux box, as well as all my windows boxes with firefox..
at least 2X faster.
