I know ive seen a few people bag on firefox but I love it over IE. I found this on the net one night and thought I would share it with you to speed up firefox. (NOTE* I am not a computer professional, I just know I did what it said and it worked very well) 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. If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages MUCH faster now! |
Did you even read this post? This has been posted before, but a long time ago. |

If the server is configured correctly, you wont hammer it. Even the default settings in apache are very managable. If the server admin has them set low (I have seen 1 connection for HTML and 2 for images) then your browser will wait for the connections to open up. No negative impact. -Foxxz |
Didn't know yesterday was that long ago, I guess to some people it could be. Click on the blue letters. |
