Increase Firefox Browser Speed
We found a way to boost browser performance in Firefox (and Mozilla) to a level you literally won't believe? The update takes two minutes, requires no add-ins or purchases, and blows your hair back when you surf even the most dog-slow Web sites.

. To boost Firefox, simply do the following after launching your browser.

1. Type "about:config" into the address bar (no spaces) and hit "Enter". Scroll down and look for the following entries:
--network.http.pipelining
--network.http.proxy.pipelining
--network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
First, highlight the address that is in the address and delete it using the "Backspace" then type about:config then, Enter.
Normally the browser will make one request at a time to a Web page. When you enable pipelining, the browser 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 tells the browser to make 30 requests at once.)
[To set these 2 items to "true" highlight the item and hit 'Enter" and the item will change from "false" 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 acting on received information.

Okay. That's all it takes.

Thanks Doc

Thanks, loved your W.C. Fields quote. Another one of his gems is, Sex isn't necessary. You don't die without it, but you can die having it.

OK I found these entries but I don't understnad, do I need to delete them to change to false?

[Stoner]

No.
Right click on the 'line of question'
In the drop down menu, click on 'toggle' to change the setting from 'false' to 'true'
Close Firefox and then restart Firefox to complete the settings

Thanks Dr Dave, cool stuff....

[lschul]

thanks, maxrequests went to 0 not true

[Stoner]

'maxrequests' should not have had a 'true-false' option in the drop down menu. Mine does not.
In that menu, to change an integer value, click on 'modify' and enter the number you wish to change in the new window that opens up. Then again close FF to complete the changes.

You can double-click the entries to change from true>false. If you double click the maxrequests it asks what the value should be.

[matt_aj]

Haven't noticed any change in speed. Slow sites still load slow. Regular sites load the same speed.
