At one time Opera was the fastest available web browser, that time has ended. By default firefox has its turbo features shut off due to an error it used to display with tables. Use the tutorial below to add 200shots of nos to firefox, and increase page speeds up to 4 times, making firefox the fastest browser.

1) Open Firefox and on the address bar write about:config and hit enter

[find the string]
network.http.pipelining
double click and change the value to true

[find the string]
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
double click and change the value to 34

[find the string]
browser.turbo.enabled
double click and change the value to true

now close and restart and see the new amazingly new speed of firefox...

I'm going to edit it now but it can go wrong so I'm going to put the default value of Mozilla (not Firefox). So if you need to put it the way it was:

[find the string]
network.http.pipelining
double click and change the value to false

[find the string]
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
double click and change the value to 4

[find the string]
browser.turbo.enabled
double click and change the value to false

I have my network.http.pipelining.maxrequests and it works wonders :angry:

I found that off a site.. I wonder what happens if you put it higher than 34... Im gonna put it at 50.

Later:
It didnt seem to make a difference when I put it up to 100 so ill just leave it at 34.

I can't find the initial paint delay on firefox 1.0.1!

I just tried this out and it works very well. My browser has not crashed and I am happily not waiting for Firefox to load the page after it has been downloaded.

I was just wondering if these features were set the way they were for a reason... I mean the people at firefox probably set these this way because of a possible problem they ran into. Just curious if there was a possible security reason they set this up this way. Just my two cents..

Very nice tip! It has made firefox a little bit faster...may be it is just my imagination...but as far as it seems to me that it has made the change...it is good :P I think there are lots of utilities coming up which claim to make firefox faster..i think they use these strings to make it fast...that's what I can think of..may be they use a different technology all together to make it fast :P

That is part of what these alterations do. The changes listed above affect the way Firefox makes and receives requests to servers. It increases the number of requests that are allowed at a time. It has a fatter 'pipeline' to work with.

The 'slow load on start-up' can be improved by allowing Mozilla/firefox to stay-resident which means the "core" of the application begins when you power-on (start up) the computer and sits in the task tray near the clock on the bottom right hand of the window. Having Firefox start-up and stay resident allows for a quicker response when you start the browser because there has already been a bunch of the processes performed on machine start-up. The problem with this is your start-up takes a bit longer.

I might be wrong about all of this, but this is what I have been told.

Good Find it seems to be working a bit better but why dont Mozilla set these settings as the default or at least have a simple setting in Tools that allows you to speed up or slow down you browser?

Woooow!! It's blazing fast! This makes firefox not just a firefox, but it makes firefox more like a railrunner lol!

Its a very good tip. Theres a program somewhere online that does it for you, can't find the link though, but its hardly tricky to do it yourself. :P

It can't be 4x faster if your dial-up line maxs out.

   Thu Nov 3, 2005    Reply         

It's not possible to get DSL speeds on standard <= 56k dial-up, ever. You can do little things here and there to boost the speeds, but you cannot increase a 56k connection to 256k and above just by tweaking it. It's not as if dial-up is an intentionally restricted form of DSL than you can 'unlock' or anything. The physical build of the phone line has limitations of the speed of data it can transfer on the layer a dial-up modem uses, so it's not possible to exceed standard dial-up speeds by a significant amount.

This small hack make the page appear to load faster, but it seems to be just rendering the HTML quickly and then the images (and other content) later.

Yes I guess its something like that, since my CPU usage has gone up a little bit since I used this, still not a big problem tho...

Well, I used this a while ago, there is another topic about this here on trap17. However, sometimes, the browser loaded wrong images. For instance, if there were two image on a website: cool.jpg and neo.jpg, neo.jpg could load where cool.jpg should have been loaded. This happened to me when loading sites with lots of images, so I changed it back to the normal, and now it works better...

meh.. i did that on the computer and it is CRAP.. IT slowed my internet moz friggin DOWN.. That little trick is also posted all over the world in nearly every 'young' forum i've been to.

There is a catch with doing this little tweak to firefox. It makes more connections with the server you are on meaning it puts more load on the server. As one user with this tweak you act as if you were 8 people. So be kind on the servers you are on by not using this unless you really want the extra speed.

By the way, network.http.pipelining.maxrequests is hardwired to 8 so if you put it any higher than that it won't make a difference.

Wow thanks for this tip. As a new member I thought due to the amount of members visiting Trap17 we have to live with a sometimes slow connection. But this does the trick, it speeds up again!

Not the newest thing in the world, but if nothing else I can say that it really does work. Back when i did it everything loaded much faster, sites that would normally take a day and a half (deviantart.com for example) would load in a much more timely fashion.

though now-a-days i've been spoilt, since i've had my firefox "tweaked' for some time now.

I've already known about this entire about:settings part, but I didn't know what specifically to do for tuning it up. Thanks.

WOW, that` s very cool. I tried it out. Owsome. I suggest to do it for everyone. Really thanks:)!

WOw, and now... It`s faster but there are some errors now. I havn`t got them before...

Firefox i amazily fast to start with but with this it just over powers all the other browsers. You can really see the differnce when you do it at the same time internet exploer is so much slower

Ive tried a few webbrowsers in my time, including Internet Explorer, Opera, FireFox and some others. So far FireFox has been the best. Internet Explorer attracts too much spyware and other unwanted files.

I would recommend using the FasterFox extenstion for FireFox. It does all the necessary tweaks to increase FireFox's preformance. Includeds mutlilanguages for all users. Main benifits are the page loading times.

QUOTE


Prefetch Links
Dynamic speed increases can be obtained with Fasterfox's unique prefetching mechanism, which recycles idle bandwidth by silently loading and caching all of the links on the page you are browsing.


Not really needed, but theres a nifty page load timer too. So you can actually see how long the pages take in seconds and miliseconds. There are quite a large range of options for FasterFox. Very n00b friendly. Brilliant extenstion to have.

Get DSL speeds with dial up

Link: view Post: 59522


mmm this tutorial works for DSL connections, or just for dialup?

   Wed Mar 1, 2006    Reply         

It simply alteres settings within firefox which are factory set too low. Eg.. Max connections per server 2. Simply 2 conenctions per server. So increases that to 4 should make websites load quicker.

Alterting the settings wont make yr downloads go any faster lol. So "Get DSL speeds on dial up" isnt totally correct. Install FasterFox its alot easier :lol:
