I think doing this violates http standards. (not that it really matters.) You are only supposed to have so many persistant connections to a server. The only consequnces of doing this is that if you have a slow connection it will hurt your downloads because you are opening more connections than it can really handle, i.e. you don't have the bandwith to utilize 20 connections to the remote server. It may make the page seem to load slower. However, on a fast connection you end up using more of your availible pipe when loading the page, i.e. if 4 pipelines only uses 20% of your connection then 20 pipelines will use 100% and the page loads faster.

The faster your connection, the higher you can set this number. You will have to do your own tests to see what to set it at.

Violating standards matters. I'm not sure if this does or not, but it's definitely rude to make excessive amounts of connections to a webserver.

I installed the version released today, saw adblock & bugmenot had no current versions to work with it, so I immediately went back to 1.0PR.

Adblock works for me in 1.0.

"Adblock v.5 d2 * nightly 39" worked in 1.0PR and still works in 1.0. BugMeNot 0.6, not so much.

Open Firefox 1.0 and type about:config in the address bar

1. Find browser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs and double click on it so it = true
2. Find network.http.pipelining and double click on it so it = true
3. Find network.http.pipelining.maxrequests doule click on it and change it from 4 to 8

1. Then enables advanced tab options in your Tools/Options page 🙂))
2. This enables option #3.
3. This makes FF use 8 threads to each page.. Bascially, if you thought FF was fast before, try it after this.

I-Hacked Mirror link for Firefox 1.0 Final Here

It works on Mozilla 1.7.3

Some of us are well aware of that but I bet many of us didn't now how to apply it to Firefox.

 

[timosyy]

now the real decision is what number to stick #3 as. I've been toying around with 8 through 20 ..

any way to test which is faster ?

neato

even with all the tweaks, opera is still way faster. common firefox i was hopping for something good in 1.0

Middle click on your bookmark? Always worked for me.

 

[LakerGod]

Whoa...much faster. Thanks. Can you set it for higher than 8?

All 3 put into action. It seems faster but I'm not sure if it actually is or if its just a placebo effect.

Ditto

Tabbrowser Extensions.

 

[yankeesfan]

to get older extensions to work in 1.0, edit "extensions.lastAppVersion" from '1.0' to '.10'. Bugmenot and others will now work.
