Discover more than 20 behind-the-scenes tweaks for speeding up page loads, reducing memory drain and making the interface behave the way you want it to
Here is an example on how to do the config.
This is something for broadband people that will really speed Firefox up:
- Type about:config into the address bar and hit return. 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. - 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. - Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it layout.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.
