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.

speak english!!

you are entirely too smart for your own good.... :wnw:

Thank you Anhtony!!!! :okthumb:

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...

Nice... works great for me.

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.
