Firefox Users: tweaks

[Ralliart]

If you're using Mozilla Firefox, here's a little tweak that will help speed up the time it takes to load web pages for broadband users:



1.Type "aboutig" 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.

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.

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.

damn it.

[Jack91]

This seems a crapload faster now, but maybe thats because you said it will speed it up.

[TE50 027]

Nice one : Heaps quicker now. Thanks for that.

[Dezza]

That's heaps better! Thanks for that!

[GCFordChic]

Ralliart, I promise never to mention padels again.

That is really great. It feels like broadband now!

Works well - thanks.

Now combine that with the Ad Block Plus plugin to block ads - can't go wrong.

bottom right hand corner you'll see the S. Click on it and select allow fordforums.com.au

You will have to do this on all your regular websites, only once though.

Why is he getting credit for this? he didn't even write one word there. Fair enough if he said "Try this" but thats 100% copy and pasted?

I agree. Thanks for sharing Ralliart.

[RG]

Damn that's fast, thanks mate.

[Lightning Strike XR6]

Nice thanks mate

[Thornie]

thanks for posting that dude, i remember this or somthing similier from ages and ages ago

[Bucknaked]

This is fantastic. I've been shaped for this month, and even going back to 64k, it loads so much faster and actually feels like Broadband rather than dialup speeds. Can't wait till the 2nd when i'm back at full speed to see how well this goes. Thanks

[Campo81]

Thanks for posting

[Road Games]

Well done Ralliart : These Forums were intended for people to help each other ............. Thanks again , and for those who dont appreciate it . :

[|||]

wow. this really works.

A++ user. would use again.

[the_scotsman]

this is an OLD tweak...but it does work...

Also, try installing the extension called "Fasterfox" from the Firefox website...it does these tweaks, and a whole lot more, automatically...
