Make Firefox faster!

[GJ]

For all of us that use Firefox and have a internet connection faster than 256k here is how to make it faster.

>> Open a new tab, by pressing "CTRL" + T

>> In the url bar type or copy and paste "about:config" then Press "Go"

>> Then filter "network.http." This would make it easier to find what you are looking for.

>> I now want you to find and set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"

>> Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"

>> Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to 150. That means that firefox will make up to 150 requests at one time.

>> Nearly done now, Right click select New >> Integer.
Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" make sure it is set to "2" This makes Firefox act as soon as it gets the infomation.


It should work now, It is 100% safe however if you mess about with the settings in there not instructed, It may not be safe.

Enjoy your new settings,
Greg

I had the same thing happen to me this week. My server updated my cpanel theme and half my cpanel would not show up. They had to use a different theme, and now it seems to be all there. Don't know if this is what you are having problems with, maybe it will help.

Firefox doesn't come with those settings for a reason. It works best for faster connections and may not load some pages correctly.

 

[Petter]

I've never had problems with it..

If there are loading errors then change this:

Find "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" by filter.
Set to "3" - At 0, Firefox takes a guess at what the page looks like and it might miss small details or images.

Also, This could slow it down a bit but could all change there "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to a lower number. It could take up more brandwidth than the site has got.

Another question was if you could reproduce this, The answer is YES but please can you link to www.gjonline.co.uk from the page but that is if you want to!!

It's called "pipelining", I've been using this for Mozilla FireFox and it works noticeably faster since I have a 56k modem. Some websites do not support this feature, so you may have to turn it off while browsing these websites.

 

[GJ]

For a 56k modem use:
>> "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" set to anything above 4 and below 10.
