Surf Faster with Firefox

Posted by Luigi on May 12, 2007

You can surf faster with Firefox without installing any plug-in. I read and have been doing this trick years ago and I can see the difference. I just want to share this to those who haven’t heard of this hack for Firefox.  You can do this by:

1. Type about:config in the address bar. Hit enter or return. (this opens firefox’s web configuration)

2. Scroll down to “network.http.pipelining”. Switch it to “true”.

3. Switch “network.http.proxy.pipelining” to “true”.

4. Set “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to 30 or something around it. This means it will take 30 requests at once. That is why it is defaultly set to 1 for dial-up users.

5. Right click anywhere and click New > Integer. Name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set its value to “0″. The value means how long will the browser wait before it responds.
