Firefox tweak

[Anthony]

This will make firefox SCREAM!!! I can't believe how fast it is now with this tweak.



1.Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit enter. Scroll down and look for the following entries:

network.http.pipelining network.http.proxy.pipelining network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.

2. Alter the entries as follows:

Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.

Set "browser.turbo.enabled" - to "true"

Set "network.dns.disableIPv6 - to "true"

3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives.

I just installed the browser.

It is pretty cool. It is IE based so it still functions like IE but it is fast, tabbed windows, native pop up blocker, skinable, has a boss button...

I would suggest setting this to 1 or 2 .. depending upon whether the entire page loads or not or whether it leaves out graphics on the page. I had it on 0 and it often skipped loading some graphics on the page.
