Greetings...
This is my first tutorial on how to make the Firefox fast:

Firefox- changing the settings to make it fast...

i know how to do it and i did it. i set the number of requests to send to like 30 and seems to be working amazingly. It just takes up bandwith with i have a lot of.

has anyone else done this with firefox?

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:

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 recieves.

If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages MUCH faster now!

I have been testing it and it seems to load the page instantly, i mean within 1 second! to tell you the truth, i dont see the loading bar anymore!

If anyone wants to try it and has firefox, give it a go. if you dont notice anything just put it on default settings, but i dont think ill go back anytime soon.
