How To: Tweak Firefox And Make It Faster
A few years ago a great tutorial game out to optimize firefox and get better speed results, I have played with a couple of other things you can also try and see if theres any better result for you.After all whats the worst that could happen apart from gaining some speed?
Type about:config in your url bar and press Enter, This will bring up the configuration menu where you can change the parameters of Firefox.
The following settings are optimized for broadband users mainly, don’t worry if you can’t find a few settings just skip on to the next, your can use the Filter box to help you.
Double Click on the following settings and put in the numbers below – for the true / false ones – they’ll change when you double click.
browser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs true
network.http.max-connections 48
network.http.max-connections-per-server 16
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy 8
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server 4
network.http.pipelining true
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests 100
network.http.proxy.pipelining true
network.http.request.timeout 300
After you have finished with all that right click somewhere on that page 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. Since you’re on a broadband – it shouldn’t have to wait.
Restart Firefox and good luck!
