Making FireFox Real Faster !!

Increase Firefox Browser Speed


I found a way to boost browser performance in Firefox (and Mozilla) to a level you literally won't believe? The update takes two minutes, requires no add-ins or purchases, and blows your hair back when you surf even the most dog-slow Web sites.

. To boost Firefox, simply do the following after launching your browser.

1. Type "about:config" into the address bar (no spaces) and hit "Enter". Scroll down and look for the following entries:
--network.http.pipelining
--network.http.proxy.pipelining
--network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
First, highlight the address that is in the address and delete it using the "Backspace" then type about:config then, Enter.
Normally the browser will make one request at a time to a Web page. When you enable pipelining, the browser 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 tells the browser to make 30 requests at once.)
[To set these 2 items to "true" highlight the item and hit 'Enter" and the item will change from "false" to "true".
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 acting on received information.(Basically...Right click on the 'line of question'
In the drop down menu, click on 'toggle' to change the setting from 'false' to 'true'
Close Firefox and then restart Firefox to complete the settings .)

Okay. That's all it takes.

Sounds good. All I did to speed up firefox was to add the plug in fasterfox or something like that and added more cache on the limit. Your way seems ok but sometimes you wouldn't want to load all of that. Might test it out. Thanks.

I had used fasterfox to speed up Firefox. It really works. I'll check my browser config to see if fasterfox did those stuff.
