ATTENTION ALL FIREFOX USERS!

i found this tweak in another forum and my browser goes A LOT faster now
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Type "about:config" in the adress field.
2. Set the value of network.http.pipelining to "true".
3. Set the value of network.http.pipelining.maxrequests to "100".
4. Set the value of network.http.proxy.pipelining to "true"
5. Set the value of nglayout.initialpaint.delay to "0"

The line "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" does not exist, this string has to be created manually. Right click on any line and choose "New" then "Integer" then copy and paste nglayout.initialpaint.delay into the field and set the value to "0"

I did this a few weeks back thinking it would not make a difference, I was wrong, it DOES make a difference! I do not think it will for dialup, I may be wrong.

 

[colonel]

yes it Does.....thank you

 

[BW86]

repost, but it does work

what does nglayout.initialpaint.delay do, makes pages load alot quicker.

It makes a subtle difference, but still a noticable one. It would be cool to get a head to head race between FF and IE.

 

[BriGy86]

a guy just told me to do it in another forum on a dif site

thats all i know

 

[LASTGUY2GETPS2]

Why does it make it faster? And is it safe?

 

[BriGy86]

in all honesty i don't really know if its safe, lol

and another kid in a dif forum was saying its bad for the servers

but he is a weird one and seems to have the mentality that he is "better" than everyone else, so he could be talking out of his ass

he said somthing about when connecting to a server that it makes an insane amount of connections

but i did what it says on my computer and its going a lot faster... kind of laggy though when resizing windows

 

[BriGy86]

im guessing the requests gives it more connections and the delay does just what you say kind of like the menu show delay on the start menu

A while back a link to a little app which changed the settings was posted in this forum and crossposted to OT, and everyone seemed to love it. I didn't think it did anything though, maybe it has something to do with how Verizon (my ISP) does things on their end.. oh well *shrug*.

you can also set these:

network.http.max-connections to "48"
network.http.max-connections-per-server to "24"
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy to "12"
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server to "4"

made me able to surf 10X faster.

and yes they're safe. i've only set my pipelining maxrequests to like 12 b4 and these settings worked. there's an app called flexbeta firetweaker that can make these tweaks for you if you don't want to do it yourself.

 

[CTho9305]

Setting the maxrequests above 8 won't have any effect - the browser interprets anything above 8 as 8.

 

[Canndy]

These things do make it faster! If you want more tips, then visit the firefox website!

 

[LASTGUY2GETPS2]

What happens if you use both at the same time?

 

[Canndy]

nothing happens, just a little fasterrrr
