How to make Mozilla Firefox 2 up to 30 times faster

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 2-30 times faster now.
For me it's only 2-3 times more faster .

I'd suggest a maximum of 6. Higher values put more load on both your computer and Web servers.

You may not notice it in your side, but the more elements (images, scripts, objects) a page has, the higher the server's load will be with that value.

This works too for FF 3.6?

things like fasterfox can also take care of such tweaks

An alternative to fasterfox would be Configuration Mania (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4420) though it is a bit more complex and you actually should know what to do. ;)

when you're tweaking the protocol settings you should always know what you do :P

Well, fasterfox at least has some presets that are more or less safe and useful, with configuration mania you have less guidance.

And I agree with you on that having a clue about whatever you are doing is a good idea. Not only with software. :biggrin:
