Good Find it seems to be working a bit better but why dont Mozilla set these settings as the default or at least have a simple setting in Tools that allows you to speed up or slow down you browser?

Its a very good tip. Theres a program somewhere online that does it for you, can't find the link though, but its hardly tricky to do it yourself.

It's not possible to get DSL speeds on standard <= 56k dial-up, ever. You can do little things here and there to boost the speeds, but you cannot increase a 56k connection to 256k and above just by tweaking it. It's not as if dial-up is an intentionally restricted form of DSL than you can 'unlock' or anything. The physical build of the phone line has limitations of the speed of data it can transfer on the layer a dial-up modem uses, so it's not possible to exceed standard dial-up speeds by a significant amount. This small hack make the page appear to load faster, but it seems to be just rendering the HTML quickly and then the images (and other content) later.

[right][snapback]201272[/snapback][/right] Yes I guess its something like that, since my CPU usage has gone up a little bit since I used this, still not a big problem tho...

Well, I used this a while ago, there is another topic about this here on trap17. However, sometimes, the browser loaded wrong images. For instance, if there were two image on a website: cool.jpg and neo.jpg, neo.jpg could load where cool.jpg should have been loaded. This happened to me when loading sites with lots of images, so I changed it back to the normal, and now it works better...

There is a catch with doing this little tweak to firefox. It makes more connections with the server you are on meaning it puts more load on the server. As one user with this tweak you act as if you were 8 people. So be kind on the servers you are on by not using this unless you really want the extra speed. By the way, network.http.pipelining.maxrequests is hardwired to 8 so if you put it any higher than that it won't make a difference.

Wow thanks for this tip. As a new member I thought due to the amount of members visiting Trap17 we have to live with a sometimes slow connection. But this does the trick, it speeds up again!
