Firefox tip you NEED.

[M4LFUNCT10N]

You won't want to miss this.

Configure Firefox to make it faster!
Here's something for broadband people that will really speed 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 requests 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. Finally, 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 receives.

If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages MUCH faster now!

Holy freaking cow, this is REALLY FAST. :faint:

Thank you Lagoon :kneel:

theres another little trick to make it efficient and use less ram too...

Step 1. Type about:config into Firefox's Address Bar.

Step 2. Right-click anywhere, then select New, Integer. Type or paste the following preference name into the dialog box that appears (this is a hidden preference that doesn't exist in the Configuration Console until you create it): "browser.cache.memory.capacity"

Step 3. Click OK, then enter the following integer number into the next dialog box, representing 16 MB of RAM for the cache: "16000"
