Firefox Users: tweaks

Ralliart · 29-12-2007, 08:32 PM

If you're using Mozilla Firefox, here's a little tweak that will help speed up the time it takes to load web pages for broadband users:

1.Type "about

ig" 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.

Well there you go! Always thought Firefox was faster than IE but this helps a bit

This seems a crapload faster now, but maybe thats because you said it will speed it up.

Dezza · 29-12-2007, 10:14 PM

That's heaps better! Thanks for that!

GCFordChic · 29-12-2007, 10:27 PM

Ralliart, I promise never to mention padels again.

That is really great. It feels like broadband now!

TE50 027 · 29-12-2007, 10:30 PM

Nice one

: Heaps quicker now. Thanks for that.

bigev · 29-12-2007, 10:55 PM

Works well - thanks.

Now combine that with the Ad Block Plus plugin to block ads - can't go wrong.

Damn that's fast, thanks mate.

Thornie · 30-12-2007, 06:47 AM

thanks for posting that dude, i remember this or somthing similier from ages and ages ago

Bucknaked · 30-12-2007, 07:28 AM

This is fantastic. I've been shaped for this month, and even going back to 64k, it loads so much faster and actually feels like Broadband rather than dialup speeds. Can't wait till the 2nd when i'm back at full speed to see how well this goes. Thanks

Campo81 · 30-12-2007, 08:10 AM

Road Games · 30-12-2007, 08:47 AM

wow. this really works.

A++ user. would use again.

the_scotsman · 30-12-2007, 10:22 AM

this is an OLD tweak...but it does work...

Also, try installing the extension called "Fasterfox" from the Firefox website...it does these tweaks, and a whole lot more, automatically...

How do you undo them?
