MAKING MOZILLA FIREFOX - 10x FASTER - PeerDen.com

**bpage020602** · 08-20-2008, 11:32 AM

Here is a trick to make your Mozilla Firefox 10 times faster

THIS IS A VERY SIMPLE TRICK.....NO SOFTWARE REQUIRED......NO DL REQUIRED

1. Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit enter.
Scroll down and look for the following entries:

2. Alter the entries as follows:

Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true" (To change just double click on the line)

Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to a 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.

NOTE: This trick only works for broadband users not for dialup

That's true T.S. "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" is hardcoded in firefox to have a maximum of 8. I think it's default is 4, but anything above that is counted as 8. It's been like that since at least version 1.

I've got these set in my user.js relating to network.http:-

Code:

user_pref("network.http.pipelining", true);
user_pref("network.http.proxy.pipelining", true);
user_pref("network.http.pipelining.maxrequests", 8); // Hardcoded Max is 8 - values above 8 count as 8
user_pref("network.http.max-connections", 48);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 16);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy", 16);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server", 8);

and these relating to initial.paint delay:-

Code:

user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 200); // Try 100 for fast, 750 for dial-up. 

user_pref("content.maxtextrun", 8191);
user_pref("content.interrupt.parsing", true);
user_pref("content.max.tokenizing.time", 750000);
user_pref("content.notify.ontimer", true);
user_pref("content.notify.interval", 250000); // Don't go below 100000 
user_pref("content.switch.threshold", 750000);
user_pref("content.notify.backoffcount", 5);

I really don't know how many of these are still relevant to FF 3.0+ because they are old tweaks left over from much earlier versions of FF.
