How To Speed Up Firefox

[liquidforce]

This Tut will teach you how to speed up Firefox to make browsing faster

1. Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit enter. Find the following entries:

1. network.http.pipelining
2. network.http.proxy.pipelining
3. network.http.pipelining.maxrequests


2. Set the values for the following entries:

Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number 10-20, i use 20 because i have fast internet. This number is how many requests your browser will try to complete at once

3. Lastly, right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This eliminates the delay for Firefox to act on your inputs and other info it receives


hope this was helpful
