Mozilla Firefox Boost: A Must Read

Good news to all Mozilla Firefox users, and those of you who use Globe Broadband! Your Web Browser will have faster browsing, really. I accidentally discovered it through pop-up windows. =)

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.pipeliningnetwork.http.proxy.pipeliningnetwork.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 Broadband only, and it really works!
