[Tut] Make Firefox load pages faster

If you follow these steps, your Firefox should load pages much faster :)

Step 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

Step 2
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.
Alter the entries as follows:

• Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"
• Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"
• Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to 8.

Step 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.

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

I've seen it, thanks anyway.

I've already quite heavily modified the settings but thanks for the additional help, there's one on the link I hadn't modified.

LOL Jordy, I might have an addon you wanna try. I'm making my own Firefox add-ons, it's a performance enhancer for Youtube videos. It's quite cool.

I'm checking that addon.
