Hello all you FireFox user's! Did you know that on croatian language FireFox means > "VatrenaLisica" Anyway here is the deal: with this easy tutorial you'll get very fast pageloads in firefox browser: just follow this simple code:

Here's something for broadband people that will really speed up Firefox:

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 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. Lastly 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! 

That's all, hope it's working for you!

wow, thank you, you can really notice the difference after doing the tweaks it loads pages way faster, it really helps, and i dont need to be waiting anymore.

once more: Thanks

[kiro]

WOW! this is very nice. Works good..

Just wondering, i dont have dial-up, but i am asking for a friend, would this work on dialup or not?

[Good Grief Graphics]

My guess is that it would help a little, but not much.

And if you're reading this and not doing it, then you are missing out on a serious speed increase.

[Trekkie101]

y'know I didnt find it that helpful, rather dull actually, didnt notice a speed increase, just hundreds more "page cannot be found errors"

[Good Grief Graphics]

You must have messed something up then. I have known about this for a long time, I just never bothered to put it in until now. Trust me, if you do it right, it will help a lot.

Pepelines? What is it? o.O

[Casanova]

I just tested this and it does make the pages start loading significantly faster, asthough images and smiliar material still loads at the same speed.

[Becca]

It probably does work..but I've forgotton how fast the pasges use to load anyways so I've got nothing to compare it with, thanks for this. You've made everyone's browsing life on firefox much easier..lol

[Izlude]

Yup .... it works ... Im on 56k and it loads a bit faster now. Thanks
*goes to his email inbox to see a 5mins page load up in 2 1/2mins*.

[finaldesign]

Im very glad that this little trick works for you to... What it really does is quite simple, it just sends a more requests to server so you get more responses from server at once. So basicly your page loads faster because every second of your idle connection is used, and you're that way use your connection to it's full capacity... :=)

[NeXDesigns]

it seems to work, but very little improvement.

[nonon]

Thanks m8
It works out fine, i've tested against a friend's non-tweaked firefox, side by side, sharing the same broadband connection, i was faster

Aldo I did a little mess, in the first time i've tryied to change my default pipelining from 4 to 30 i've acidentally introduced a command with the name "30" with 30 as is integer value. I've tryied to delete it but i couldn't figure out how
Can anyone help me out ?

[NeXDesigns]

it doesnt seem to work right, i will have to see what i did wrong.

[chiclete]

I've tested it but I don't know if it has done any modification... Because I don't remember how fast it was (it has some time that I've done it's change) and because my computer is going on some troubles right now... And I have no time to format it right now... so when I format it I'll try making these modifications again.. I'm glad to hear that it's working for a few people.

[Johnny]

Hm...seems like a slight increase in page loading, but nothing too substantial...I'm guessing that this modification raises the number of threads Firefox uses to load an individual page, so then, will it raise memory usage? Mine is already bad enough...it's usually around one hundred thirty megabytes, and I only have six hundred eighty six total, with Photoshop CS, Cinema 4d and a few Bittornado windows open at the same time...

[rronkiv]

thanks alot for this, it makes my browser go 100000000 million time's faster now!

[Amezis]

*w0000t*

*weeeeee*

*wohooo*

Alot faster, really the best tutorial I have ever seen!!!!!!!!

[CrashCore]

Thanks a lot. It seems to make pages load a lot faster for me.

[JeffS]

Sweet. This works awesome. Only some pages will load faster for me though. If you can't done it, do it now. I really noticed that www.trap17.com was loading a lot faster.

nice find.

[tariqrf]

MAN!!! it works,, i donno how, but i think the page delay paint thing.. it hasnt done anything to the connection but its just that wait to display something on screen, which has decreased..

amazing..
5 star tutorial


Cheers,

[canute24]

All that is ok but sending more requests means more bandwidth use, isn't it? And also is it the same thing as clicking go several times?

[psychiccyberfreak]

could I use this on my site? I will give you credit.
