Make Firefox Faster

After you get past the beginner stage with Firefox, try this "power-user" trick to make it download pages faster by allowing multiple connections so it can download more than one file at a time. It's only useful for broadband users, so if you're still on dial-up you can just skip this one for now.

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 receives.

If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages MUCH faster now!

Viteza crescuta la vizualizare pagini cat si la download!

inca o chestie la tip-ul de mai sus....la "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" am citit ca 30 e un destul de mare...incercati cu 10 de exemplu...ar trebui sa fie destul, si nici nu solicita prea mult serverul

Aici sunt cateva setari recomandate pt. conexiunile prin cablu: Quote: nglayout.initialpaint.delay - 0

content.max.tokenizing.time - 2250000 content.maxtextrun - 8191 network.http.max-connections - 48 network.http.max-connections-per-server - 16 network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy - 16 network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server - 8

browser.turbo.enabled - true network.dnsCacheExpiration - 360 network.dnsCacheEntries - 100 network.ftp.idleConnectionTimeout - 60 network.http.keep-alive.timeout - 30 network.http.request.max-start-delay - 5 network.http.connect.timeout - 30 network.dns.disableIPv6 - true
