Tweak Firefox - Make your Firefox much faster

PinQ
QUOTE
Got another one for all of you tweaking firefox out:

1) Ok fire up the fox

Just a heads up these settings make you download sites considerably faster, BUT they put a great deal of overload on the sites you visit

2) type in "about:config" the address bar and then hit enter

You'll see a whole load of options here you will need to change some of the values.
These ones:

network.http.max-connections = 64
network.http.max-connections-per-server= 20
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server= 10
network.http.pipelining = true
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests = 200 (choose one)
nglayout.initialpaint.delay = 0
network.http.request.max-start-delay = 0

if you can't find "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" your going have to make it. Just right click and hit new integer.

network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy = 10
network.http.proxy.pipelining = true
network.http.proxy.version = 1.0

now close down firefox and start it up again.

Now Firefox will burn up the web

I think this works... I just restarted firefox and it seems it loads faster and the websites load faster too. Thanks!

This is amazing! I could in theory make the numbers higher and higher and the page-load speed would get faster and faster, but does anyone know if anything bad would happen if I did?

I think you would start putting more and more load onto sites that you visit, as you are opening loads of connections at once, so its not a good idea to put it too high.

Pipelining is a trick that Firefox establish multiple connection to the server. You will put the load on that server. You will get more bandwidth share with this method. But some servers don't like this and they can ban you if you do it too much.

    Well, I hope I am posting this in the right forum. I was wondering if you tech-guys know if there is
    any difference in speed if: I am let's say extracting two 2gb archives file1.rar and file2.rar:
    1. at the same time 2. one after another I'd really like to know that, because I really love to
    multi-task but sometimes I get the feeling that things would go faster if I did one thing and then
    after the first one is completed, move on to another rar archive for example... Thank you all for

  4. Your Firefox Cache
    Do you know where it is ? (2)
    You can access your FireFox cache files by typing this "about:cache?device=disk" into your FF URL
    bar There is the cache directory will tell you the directory in which cache is stored, this is not
    IE and you'll not be able to browse by going to that directory, because its in encrypted form.
    If you want to browse your cache, you're in the page! The about:cache?device=disk is the
    disk cache page! browse around in here. This is completely different to what is temporary

  5. Make Your Software Run Faster
    If your software uses fonts (2)
    Every time you open Photoshop or Microsoft Word, it scans for all the fonts on your computer. That
    can take a while, especially if you have 500 of them, like me. There are often many fonts installed
    on a person’s computer, but the average computer user doesn’t need so many fonts. For example,
    Microsoft Office 2003 installs a large collection of fonts, but in reality these fonts are just ugly
    and not useful at all. The last time I used one of those fonts was 3 years ago, and that was on
    someone else’s computer. And if you’re a web designer, you will have a very hard tim....
