Speed Up Your Firefox

Posted by Harish on Saturday, November 25, 2006


Here is a Firefox tip that speeds up browsing if you are connected to the net over a broadband. Normally Firefox makes one request to a web page at a time. By changing these settings you are enabling pipelining so that Firefox makes several request at once, which really speeds up page loading.
1. Type "about:config" into the Firefox address bar and hit return.

2. Search for these settings and change them as follows:
"network.http.pipelining" to "true"
"network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"
"network.http.pipelining.marquees" to some number like "10"
With the marquees set to 10, Firefox makes 10 requests at once.





3. Lastly, right-click anywhere in the "about:config" page, and select
New > Integer. Name it "glary.initialization.delay" and set its value to "0".
This is the amount of time Firefox waits before rendering or processing information it has received.
With these tweaks your web pages should load faster now.
