HOW TO SPEED UP MOZILLA FIREFOX

 HOW TO SPEED UP MOZILLA FIREFOX

 

THE PROBLEM:

You feel mozilla is too slow or you are quite comfortable with its speed but want more! This tuto is for you...Learn here how to quickly and easily SPEED UP MOZILLA!

THE PRINCIPLE:

The Key word is pipelining.To make simple,Mozilla will normally 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 hence browsing speed.

THE SOLUTION:

If you dont like reading download and watch the 1 minute video tutorial in avi format here or in flv format here

Mozilla being open source,any one can change its advanced settings to his or her convenience. In this tutorial we will only change the pipelining settings (4)
whose default values are as follows
network.http.pipelining  set to false
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests  8 or something like that
network.http.pipelining.ssl  set to false
network.http.proxy.pipelining  set to false

To change them do the following
1. Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return (or ENTER).
2. Type pipelining in the filter bar (note how the 4 settings appear well before you type all the word,typing just the first 3 letters "pip" will be enough)
You can now see the following entries:
network.http.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
network.http.pipelining.ssl
network.http.proxy.pipelining

3. Modify the entries as follows: (by double clicking on them or right clicking on them and choosing the option modify or toogle)
modify network.http.pipelining from false to true 
modify network.http.pipelining.maxrequests from whatever it is to say 29,which means it will make 29 requests at once.
modify network.http.pipelining.ssl  from false to true
modify network.http.proxy.pipelining. from false to true 

AND YOURE DONE WITH SPEEDING UP MOZILLA

TO GO FURTHER...
4.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
recieves.



NOTE:It works for any type of connection,but if you are using a broadband connection;you will feel the effects to the best!
