How to make firefox faster! Simple to use changes to help speed it up!

1.Type “about:config”. Into your address bar at the top of the screen. If there is a prompt just click past it. Now looking at the page You should see a long list of words on the left side. Find these phrases.

network.http.pipelining

network.http.proxy.pipelining

network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

Usually Firefox will make one request to a web page at a time. When you turn on pipelining it will connect many times at once, which will really speed up your pages 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 between 25-35, I personally use 30. This means if you my settings, it will make 30 requests at once.

3. Lastly right-click in the long list window 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 receives.

If you’re using a broadband connection you should REALLY see a big boost in speed!
