Tweak Firefox

[{I}{K}{E}]

This tutorial will enable some features in firefox that will allow pipelining to increase speed in firefox. It opens more connections to browse tons faster.


1. Open about:config

In the title bar of FireFox Open the page "about:config"

2. Locate the Strings

Now you need to find the following strings/options

You can find the correct ones easily by using the filter bar at the top.

Type -> network.http

It should leave you will only a few results. Now find the following.

network.http.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
network.http.proxy.pipelining

Network.http.pipelining -> Double Click to Set to True
Network.http.pipelining.maxrequests -> Double Click and Set to 30
Network.http.proxy.pipelining -> Double Click to Set to True


3. Right click anywhere and hit NEW -> INTEGER

Interger name: nglayout.initialpaint.delay
Value: 0

This will stop the delay that firefox takes before loading a page.

4. Search for:
browser.display.show_image_placeholders -> Double Click to Set to False

Coool, seems most of these were enabled in my about:config anyways , but my max connections were set to 40 and i had to set false to the image placeholders.

Thanks!
