I found on a website a method to increase 2 to 3 times the speed to loading pages with FireFox. The connection should be broadband
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 2-3 times faster now
thanks for he info Ragnar :)
no problem...

Actually i never thought of how i could access the config utilities for firefox...
the "about:config" has everything...just have to figure what each means (or at least get the most important lines)
yes .. i've been playing around with the configs .. it's very interesting,

thanks again.
I was going to post the same thing.. But there is something different in the thing I found !

Now right click and select new string

nglayout.initialpaint.delay 0
a month later
