Firefox, IE, Opera tips

Speeding Up Your Firefox

Here’s a good old trick to speed up Firefox for Broadband Users. You can follow the following steps:

  • 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.

  • Change the entires 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. You can keep it from 20-30 as you like. The number ‘30′ here refers to making requests. So, here it’s 30 requests.

  • Now the last step, 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.
  • After you are done with everything just restart the browser, if you are a broadband user you’ll see the difference for sure.
