Looking to make FireFox faster for you? Check this little setup out's it's made a noticable difference in page load times for me.

Requirements:
1. You have FireFox (duh)
2. You have broadband

Here's how to do it:

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.

If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages MUCH faster now!

If you've found this helpful, toss me a rep

Im not trying to start something but be forewarned this will sound like an accusation... Ive seen this guide all over the place for quite a while now, so, if you got it from another site you should give the proper credit

You can still get a rep point for using something from another site, just give proper credit and youll get the rep for introducing it on overclock.net

I would not put it upto 30 since it can be viewed as a DOS attack by some websites which will result in your IP being banned by the site.

I would say 20 maximum.

i saw this somewhere and did it and yes firefox does get faster. well done for posting.

Yeah I've had a couple of other people tell me that too... I dropped it to 15 and did notice a slight increase in page load time so I hopped it back up to 30. I'll adjust it once I come across a page that won't let me connect with 30.

Thx for the heads up.

What happens on dial-up? I have broadband but sometimes I take my computer places where I'm condemned to dial up.

 

[FragTek]

To make it work on dialup, keep the connection number at 4, and do the rest of the steps. I had a couple people over on my forum said that it works great.
