How To Make Firefox Faster If You Have A Broadband

mukund
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!

Hey, mukund!

Thank you for this excellent tip!
I just did this configuration change and I can see the results...
The pages are loading much faster.

Come to think of it, I was not aware that so many configuration options are available for Firefox!!

BTW, I visited your site and you have a nice layout on your site. Good collecton of news items too...

Thank you

Ahh. this is very useful, and good use of stuff that is available, nice thinking whoever thought of that first...However until I get broadband ( could be a long and painful task due to my stupid alarm system that doesnt let you use broadband unless you get their guys to install an internal microfilter for $170ish dollars, when you could do the same fore $20 yourself but then insurance insn't covered....) ANyway, I think the best bet for broadband in the UK is a very low cost 1mb connection of £19.99, and this is with unimited amounts of downloaded material, not Capped, my friend has used it for a while and says it is very reliable, so for anyone in the uk go to ; www.thestar.org.uk to get extremely low cost broadband!!! Thanks again forthe tip though, and I will use it soon hopefully, r at least at work when they install forefox, as we are still dtuck on Internet Explorer! Damn internet explorer...

Well, Benz1435, I checked that and you are right. It has been posted earlier at the tutorials section.
However, I have reason to believe that mukund has not copied and pasted here from your tutorial.

This is a piece of information that is not seen in your post, but only in Mukund's post:
QUOTE
Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"


This piece of information is seen in your post, but not in Mukund's post:
QUOTE
[find the string]
browser.turbo.enabled
double click and change the value to true


But I would suggest to mukund that he should search for such a topic before posting new ones.

I downloaded Firefox just to try this lol...

I usually always had that browser anyway, but since I've gotten my new computer, I just haven't been bothered with it yet. But I've followed the steps, and it really does seem to be faster. I had no idea things like that even existed for us users to change.

Thanks a lot for the tip!

This is indeed very impressive, however, I do not know at what speed firefox loaded the pages prior to the editing. Therefore, I do not know by how much loading time actually decreased by, and whether it decreased at all, or its just an illusion.

Sort of doesnt make sense to me just because.... Now do other browsedrs also can use this are or or ro only firefox? Probably only firefox. Anyway cool tril.. Only problem I have is that I use dial-up so i cannot change my settings or it will not maek a difference, neat trick for broadbanf firfrox users though, do not know hwere you found i out;..
