Make Firefox Faster
Follow the directions below to push Firefox’s page retrieval time to the max. Basically what it does is increases the number of maximum simultaneous HTTP requests for any given web request. You will see a significant increase in page load times. The directions were grabbed from this website, but streamlined below:
- Type “about:config” at the address bar and hit enter
- Change the following entries to these new values (right click the row to change it’s value)
- network.http.pipelining = true
- network.http.proxy.pipelining = true
- network.http.pipelining.maxrequests = 30
- Lastly, right click anywhere on the page and select New, name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set its value to 0 (zero), this value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives.
