Firefox 1.0.5 Help

[Joseph E.]

I wanted to share some code that would help your Firefox experience. This will make your Firefox so much faster accessing pages. This tweak has been tested any alterations could cause Firefox to crash.

In your address bar type "about:config" without the quotes and hit enter.
 
1. Find the string: network.http.pipelining
 
- Double click and change the value to true
 
2. Find the string: network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
 
- Double click and change the value to 34
 
3. Find the string: browser.turbo.enabled
 
- Double click and change the value to true add this line by right clicking,
choose integer and add this nglayout.initialpaint.delay set it to 0 when asked
 
Now close and restart and see the new speed of Firefox!

I hope this helps all the Firefox users. I know there is quite a few of them that chat here.

I have already seen this update before and it does make firefox slightly faster. The speed has increased about 15% for me.

...and why not tell anyone?

Nice tweak! I also upgraded to 1.0.6 and that's added a bit of speed as well.

Because I think someone already posted about this before a few months ago.

(this tweak has been around since the initial Firefox release)

OK I'm an idiot--what is "choose integer"? I was ok to that point and then got lost.

I upgraded to 1.0.6 yesterday... Awesome!

OK I'm an idiot--what is "choose integer"? I was ok to that point and then got lost.

Do the following:

Right click in the about:config window.

From the menu, highlight "new", a new menu will appear on the right.
From that menu, select "integer"

In the first pop-up, put "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" (without the quotes) and press OK.
In the next pop-up, put 0 and press OK.
