DUDE, if you have firefox you *have* to read this...

Umm... Do as the instructions say: Just create the file user.js and put the config settings copied and pasted into it. The file DOES NOT EXIST BY DEFAULT, but it will be loaded if it is found, and the settings will override the settings in prefs.js. This way you don't have to search/edit each setting.

Can you not just copy/paste the entires directly into the prefs.js?

user_pref("network.http.max-connections", 48);
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", 8);

Explain please.

Most web servers, mine included, are set to accept a max number of connections at one time. (200 in my case) When you enable these settings, you could potentially take up 25% of the connection limit with one page request (48 max connections). That's rude. I serve 500+ users at any one time and if they all did this, the server would crash and burn after 5 users. Please think of the poor admins.

F3 = Find Next

F3 = damn far to reach. Try Ctrl+G.

But it's not 48.

(maybe this would be an incentive for people to stop putting a billion useless graphics on their webpages )

The easiest way is to open notepad, copy and paste the settings into that and save it as "user.js." Then put it in the same folder as "prefs.js."

Edit: If you still want to open prefs.js, right click on it and select "open with" then select "notepad."

am I the only one who cant find the prefs.js file?

 

[BZeto]

I mean, all I have is security-prefs.js all.js and xpinstall.js

You're looking in the wrong place. Look in your profile, not the firefox directory. start->run "%appdata%\mozilla\firefox", and look there.

 

[Gusty987]

I agree, this makes it much faster!

Be sure you enable hidden files and folders.

You have to create it yourself, as it doesn't exist by default.

DAYUM!!!!!
That is one mean, fast mofo.
Startup time was reduced by a lot (might be because I haven't rebooted yet), but it seems one hell of a lot faster!
Blazing.

I just tried it. Still like IE better though.

prefs.js is there by default, user.js is not.

Opps... hehe, should really be using user.js anyway, because if you made a mess of the settings all ya need to do is delete the file (unlike the pref.js file).
