if you find fire fox to slow download firetune from here....it configures firefox to your computers specific recuirements
www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Browser-Tweak/FireTune.shtmlalso try these tweaks:
Whilst I take no credit for this, it was passed my way by a very helpful tech supoort guru. Hope this is a useful first post for all u monkeys!
1. Open firefox.
2. 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.
3. 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 like 8. (8 seems to be the maximum according to some people, but basically the higher the number, the faster it will be)
4. 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.
If you prefer to edit your user.js file, here are the appropriate entries:
user_pref("browser.cache.disk_cache_ssl", true);
user_pref("content.max.tokenizing.time", 2250000);
user_pref("content.notify.backoffcount", 5);
user_pref("content.notify.interval", 750000);
user_pref("content.notify.ontimer", true);
user_pref("content.switch.threshold", 750000);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections", 4Cool;
user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 16);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy", 16);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server", ;
user_pref("network.http.pipelining", true);
user_pref("network.http.pipelining.maxrequests", ;
user_pref("network.http.proxy.pipelining", true);
user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 0);
I've tried it out - it does really speed up firefox!
Enjoy.
