Speed Up FireFox

Soul Sojourner:
A post I made at Realm of Darkness, about a useful peice of information I found elsewhere:

--------------------------------------------------

This isn't one of those plug-ins or shitty programs that say they will "speed up the internet." My previous experience with that crap has made me label it... well... crap. :lol:

Just a note, this is for broadband dsl/cable etc. users as far as I know. Probably even more helpful the faster the connection you have, I suggest not doing this if you're on dial-up.

This is the source of the source:

Just follow it step by step and you shouldn't have any problems. If it, for some reason, seems to have a negative effect, it's easy enough to backtrack and undo what you did.
Here's the information:


"Here's something for broadband people that will really speed Firefox up:

1.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.

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 recieves."
