Speed up firefox browsing speed....

Yes, firefox is already pretty damn fast but did you know that you can tweak it and improve the speed even more?

That's the beauty of this program being open source.

Here's what you do:

In the URL bar, type “about:config” and press enter.

This will bring up the configuration “menu” where you can change the parameters of Firefox.
=========================================================================
Note that these are what I’ve found to REALLY speed up my Firefox significantly - and these settings seem to be common among everybody else as well like me. And it works better in big connections!!!!

Double Click on the following settings and put in the numbers below - for the true / false(booleans) - they’ll change when you double click.

Code:
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


One more thing…
Right-click somewhere on that screen and add a 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.
Now you should notice you’re loading pages MUCH faster now!

Note: Single misprint or any other changes might be making your firefox worst. So, this is just for the educational purpose. If you have any problem then just contact me and if you want I can explain in detail what you are doing. Send me an email. And remember that I am not responsible for whatever thing you do to your firefox here. This is just for the educational purpose as I said before.
