FIREFOX ON SPEED: Firefox Speed Tweak

[CTho9305]

Are you guys aware that setting network.http.pipelining.maxrequests above 8 does not add anything? This line gets the pref value, this line clamps it (clamp is defined here) to a max value (8) defined here. The network.http.proxy.pipelining pref does nothing if you aren't using a proxy.

I have to try this at home because I have a T1 at work. No noticeable difference at work.

well this isn't a software...its a PATCH

So this "patch" isn't software? Is it hardware instead?
I don't know what s/h you are talking about since you have in your OP a download link......




You said in your OP this is one of your first posts - well, I'm just telling you it is in the wrong place
Not the first time a new member put it in the wrong spot

awesome difference for me...I'm on a sketchy wireless....just about out of range with a lot of metal in the walls. Thanks

I don't care if it was hardware, software or a glass of water....I call it a hot deal!

 

[bigboxes]

Software questions belong in Software. A hot deal for software does indeed belong in Hot Deals. Hot Deals are not limited to hardware.

Can someone who has installed it, go to your FireFox profile folder (Documents and Settings/yourname/Application Data/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/somename/) and see if you have a user.js file. If you do, what's in it? Thanks.

man this works like charm... thanx a lot.

opened user.js in Notepad:

// Enable pipelining:
user_pref("network.http.pipelining", true);
user_pref("network.http.proxy.pipe lining", true);
user_pref("network.http.pipelining.maxrequests", 100)

The following should be added too:

user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 0);

it makes pages start to load immediately instead of the default 250ms

great !! time to add turbo to the firefox

 

[Medea]

Very nice. Cleared cache just to make sure, and there's definitely a noticeable improvement.

 

[globalcitizen]

Just got it and omg it is fast:Q It is like loading web pages before I even finishing clicking or pressing enter lol

Great find:beer::beer:

 

[n7]

Even if you can do this manually, this is still good for those who are lazy (like me)

Thanx!

thanks for the patch! this is the way to surf!

user_pref("network.http.pipelining.maxrequests", 100)

DO NOT set this to 100. If I saw this on my server I'd block your IP address. 10-20 is sufficient enough without killing a server with a bandwidth burst.

smokin.

 

[knoxweather]

nice patch.... Awesome browser....

See my reply earlier. Mozilla is smart enough to prevent the l33t-tweaker-d00dz from setting ridiculous values, and caps it to 8.

 

[powerMarkymark]

Great patch.

Thnx

 

[clarkkent333]

can anyone list the values that this patch uses in the js file? Im just curious how they compare to the extension's settings. Thanks.

 

[bharok]

how can u tell the speed difference
firefox works fast already
??

 

[Jeff7]

Darn, I was hoping this was some kind of improvement on the application's loading time. But I'll give this a try anyway.

There is already a extension that does this and actually has a gui that lets you go in and tweak it out. Its simply called "tweak network 1.0" and you can find it here and here is a

screen shot

That one doesn't install for me. It gives an error saying that it only works on Firefox versions 0.9 to 1.0. Odd, since I have 0.93, and based on my math, that does come between 0.9 and 1.0.

 

[KnickNut3]

Sweet! Same delays to connect, but whole site pops up instantly!
