As if Firefox wasn't fast enough, here's a way to make pages load even faster. This presumes you have broadband or DSL, not sure how it will work with dial up
(don't type in the quotation marks, put spaces just as I have them)

1) type "about:config" into the address bar, ENTER. 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:
(to toggle "false" to "true" just double left click on that entry, to change a value, right click and select)

Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"
Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"
Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to a 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 it's value to "0". This is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives. That's it! Enjoy! Chris.

Wow!

That works great Chris! At first I thought it wouldn't make that much difference if any at all, but I can tell you this thing smokes! I set the "maxrequests" value to only 15 and it loads about 4 times as fast as it was before!

Good job on that Chris!

Now what would happen to web servers if everybody was to send 30 requests at a time, all the time?

Cheers!

Never really helped me last time I did it.

They'll crap out

Sounds Good to me Chris~

I'll put a link to this Page in my FF thread, maybe? Or perhaps we could move it

No matter, Great info!! However FF is just fine with me, it's plenty fast, does this TWEAK help your On-Line MP gaming, like

or as in your "PING" just curious. Is all.

Oh and what about the warning that FF give you when you do this??



Warranty, didn't know I had a Warranty

This tweak only works for the browser. Has no affect on gaming (unless it's a browser- based game. Chris.

Thx Chris i had forgot how to do this but I have it printed now

wife will be happy. And we all know if the wife ain't happy ain't nobody happy.

Chris~

Are you sure this is Right,::

3) Lastly, right click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint,delay" and set it's value to "0". This is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives. That's it! Enjoy! Chris.

Isn't it supposed to be a Period not a Comma (high lighted in RED above)

Just want to be sure. Thanks!!

I did it with a Comma, and think it might be wrong... Or no

Like this :: nglayout.initialpaint.delay

I've just learned that it is a Period (dot) not a Comma.

I set my "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to 60, it seems Best, IMHO.
