Default FireFox Speed Tweaks - 25-02-2005

Quote:
Got this in from a friend. I know this works with the latest version of Firefox web browser. I did this and Firefox is a helluvalot faster now. Use this at your own risk.
----------------
Here's something for broadband people that will really speed Firefox up:

1.Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries(you might not have them all):

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.
Got this from a friend on anothe forum.

thanks

maybe they should add something in the options dialog box to add this in

btw, here is a detailed reference about those options in about:config:

I have no experience with this, but some people are saying this might ban you from some servers(to many requests at once).

btw, if you want to make this default, just modify greprefs/all.js and search for the item, and you may distribute your modified version. (but make sure you replaced all images in the official binaries and remove all firefox logos, or you build the source yourself)

well, apparently the maximum value for this is 8 anyway, anything above that FF just reads as the maximum.

I've found this in the Mozilla preferences dialog... (but not sure about Firefox as I don't use it) it seems to be the same as above

True.

PHP Code:
// hard upper limit on the number of requests that can be pipelined
#define NS_HTTP_MAX_PIPELINED_REQUESTS 8

I'm pretty sure you will. Given a capable connedction, that is. I certainly did. It's especially noticable on somewhere with lots of images, like a Google image search.

Damn, you're right. I just checked a city journal in one of the SimCity forums I visit regularly. Such forum threads are ideal, because they are pretty long and con contain many pictures on one page. And boy, this was fast! 8o

Thx again for sharing your knowledge.
