How to Speed Up FireFox

These few steps will really speed up your browsing experience using Mozilla FireFox browser by over 200%.

1. Into FireFox address bar type “about:config” 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 requests at once, which dramatically speeds up page loading.

2. Edit those entries as follows:

Set “network.http.pipelining” to “true”

Set “network.http.proxy.pipelining” to “true”

Set “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to 30 or less. This means FireFox will make 30 requests to the webpage server at once.

3. Finally right click on an empty area and select New > Integer. Name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set its value to ‘0′. This value is the amount of time the browser will wait before it acts on the information it recieves.

If you’re using a Broadband/DSL connection you will load pages MUCH faster now!
