Tweaks to set Firefox to Turbo! Here's something for broadband users that speeds Firefox up: 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 receive. If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages MUCH faster now! You should notice a differance straight away. :groovy:

Will these al work even though I'm browsing using a proxy through a LAN (I think that's what I'm doing )
I'm aware its old but thought id share it as not everyone is going to know about it. If it helps one person, im happy
Dint know about this!! Made a significant difference! Why isn't Firefox this fast after downloading it? Why do you have to tweak it?! :spangled:
because i guess they have some kind of "gentlemens agreement" with the isp's not to ship a browser that hammers their servers. all those tweaks do really are up the amount of connections the browser opens to the server - just like if you use getright to download something using multiple download streams - makes it faster
