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

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 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

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.
