Speed UP Firefox

1) Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit run. 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: (by double clicking them)

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. (I changed mine to 100, works great.)

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.

i did It now let's see what happens ?

I did that many years back...very old trick....can be easily found on warez...

yes this tricks is old
i have see this yet last year in warez

Thanks, I forgot about this one. Nice trick is too install the newest Firefox 3.5 if you didn't already, it is about 40% faster than the previous versions, and then apply this trick and boost it even more.

After that, it would be good to patch the maximum numbers of ho connections and then tweak connection settings.

Found everywhere on the net. not a big find.

Thanks a lot for sharing

Thanks, rotterman,

this might be old but was new to me, and I'm desperately looking for everything that would help me speed up Firefox.

When Polymath20 says Firefox 3.5 would be faster - sorry but I have to disagree. Since I have ff 3.5 installed (ok I have about 15 plugins but I had them in the previous version too) my Firefox takes up to 5 minutes to initially launch after booting up my computer. Cleaning all temp folders regularly helps to take down the time to two minutes after reboot until it launches... I can see it in my taskmanager right away, but until it's on the screen it takes forever. After this initial launch the speed is ok, but having to sit and wait after each computer restart still sucks...

So I gave rotterman's suggestions a try and hope for the best, but it probably doesn't help with the initial launch problem. The Mozilla forum is full of posts with the same problem, but no solution yet. If anybody has any suggestion I would appreciate help.

Thanks.

hi rotterman
ur trik works fine with 3.5
plz enlightain how does it works & why it was not done by mozila

I have firefox 3.5 on OS X with no startup problems, it loads instantly.

And narendra, the reason Mozilla don't have it set by default is because pipelining can add heavy load to web servers, so in the example where the OP changed his pipelining number to 100, that means the server is receiving 100 connection requests at one time instead of just 1. If you imagine if every person using Firefox(millions) had their settings like this, web servers wouldn't be able to handle it, so this should always be thought about when changing your pipelining max requests.
