Quote:Most Mozilla Firefox users have recently switched over to other browsers such as Google Chrome, or Opera. The number one reason; speed. Firefox is slowly getting a reputation for being slower than other browsers, when in reality it's not. See other browsers automatically have a few options enabled for them that Firefox does not enable by default.

Before we start, this may not speed up Firefox for you personally, I've tested this on about 10 other computers and 80% of them saw drastic improvements one was an old windows XP laptop which went from taking sometimes upwards of 30 seconds to load Facebook to the speeds you would expect; instantly.

Ok so this is how it's done, it's actually a really simple trick and takes less than a minute to do.



Type about:config in the address bar and press enter (you will see a warning, just proceed it's nothing important).



Scroll down to the following entry.

network.http.pipelining and click on it to set the value to true (it should change automatically).



Now scroll to network.http.proxy.pipelining and click on it to set the value to true.



Next scroll to

network.http.pipelining.maxrequests and set the number to 30. This will tell your browser to make 30 requests at once instead of the default 4.



Now, right click anyware on the page, select New Integer and type or paste in this:

nglayout.initialpaint.delay and set the value to 0.



This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives.


Now restart your browser to see the difference.
