Firefox Speed Tweaks

[powergoku1221]

1. Type "about:config" on your URL bar and press return.
2. Find "network.http.pipelining" in the list and change the value to "true" by clicking on it.
3. Find "network.http.proxy.pipelining" and change that to "true" too.
4. Find "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" and change the value to "30" or any higher number you wish.
5. Right click anywhere on the page and select "New" and then "Integer". Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and make the value "0". Source: ipkonfig.com

Boom! You're Firefox will now load up pages faster than ever before. Take that Microsoft.

[Kyle]

If you can find it, I'll add it to the first post, and no, it can't make it slower, you're dreaking.

My pipeline settings were already set to "true" so I just had to up the max number of requests from 8 to 300. Now is like my dsl is like cable on steriods.

[m1ndless]

[Deojo]

Fasterfox already does this.

Nice. I don't suppose there is a minit as this is only the maximum # of requests.

[the1337azn]

Yeah, i just did this to the firefox i just installed. I didnt see a big difference, i think its cuz i have low ram, only 240.

Sorry for the bump, but does this increase download speeds?
