Thx darlin sure made a huge difference! Sometimes it was like I'm on dial up now pages are loading in a sec or two instead of a min

[Justtobeme2]

Thank you so much! I'm a noob and I was even able to do it! Can this be done with other browsers also?

[Kelvin]

No, it can not. Other browsers do not have the about:config.

You can also get the Fasterfox extension for performance and network tweaks from:
-->https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/se...ox&status=4

faster fox does not do the nglayout.initialpaint.delay tweak though..
and it set the pipelining.maxrequests to 8...I have mine set to 12...anymore than that can cause you problems at some sites..

[Kelvin]

Ok then - thanks for the note happyrck.

Make Firefox Faster

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 any number around 5-12. This
means it will make X requests at once, depending on the number you put in.

NOTE: A recommended number is either 8 or 12.

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 2-3 times faster now.

IMPORTANT: Some small sites may block your connection because it DOES take up more bandwidth than usual. Take note.

Nice tip dude, where'd you find it? I found one here, Dated Dec. 2004;

Thanks, Kelvin

Thx 4 the info!

[NAVYVET]

I wish I could say it works. It doesn't. I try it and an IE window opens and then doesn't connect. It tells me that the navigation was cancelled.

[Student101]

are you doing it in firefox or IE. This only works for FF

[NAVYVET]

Its Firefox.
I'm not sure why IE opens up tho.

So he copied it? Could have given credit.

[ColtsFan18]

OK, I'm an idiot and when I added the Integer "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" I left the " in the name. How do I remove them or does it matter if they are there?

[Transience]

Excellent tip, much much faster
