Speed Up Firefox With Two Tiny Tricks!
Ever wished your browser could be faster? Or just appear faster? Well, with this quick trick it can!
All you have to do is type about:config in your browser bar. Once you’re in filter for “network.http”. Then find “network.http.pipelining” and double click the value to change it to true. Then find “network.http.proxy.pipelining” and change it’s value to true. Now, find “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests and change the value to eight or more. The reason it’s eight is because that’s the most http requests that Firefox can send. Setting it higher won’t break it, but it won’t do anything either! Now, lastly what you’re going to do is right click somewhere and choose new>integer.
After that, you should get a message asking you to name your new integer, call it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay”. After that, restart firefox and you should be browsing at a tidbit closer to light speed.

[..YouTube..] note on firefox 2 this will suck ram quicker
June 15th, 2008 at 3:41 pm
[..YouTube..] Yeah, it kills ram. But on a modern system with two gigs, it shouldn’t be a problem! Thanks for leaving a good comment and being a part of the community!

[..YouTube..] very good tip! I noticed the difference right away. Now we need some tweaks to Safari (yes, it’s already fast, but it would be sweet if it was even faster).

[..YouTube..] Awesome, Zane! Gotta love speed. ;]While I’m here, don’t suppose you’ve heard of an extension that will give you more than just one row of tabs? (All in the same tab “bar”, preferably.)

[..YouTube..] how does it kill your RAM?
August 12th, 2008 at 4:51 pm
[..YouTube..] No, though you may find it beneficial to search the Mozilla site. Let me know if you find anything, not that I’d use it. It’d just be cool!

[..YouTube..] It kills your RAM by keeping the pages in memory, instead of going back and downloading the site each time. Thanks for watching!
