Can This Make FF Faster?
-
If you arenÂ’t already using MozillaÂ’s Firefox browser, drop everything immediately and make the switch. We could start listing all the reasons why itÂ’s a superior web browser - pop-up blocking, tabs, enhanced security, the plethora of custom extensions - but then weÂ’d melt into a heap of gushy software rapture. And that would be a little creepy. Even for us.
If youÂ’re already using Firefox on a broadband connection, hereÂ’s some tweaking you can do to make your browsing even faster.
* 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.

Firefox advertisement. I wouldn't call Firefox fast, but the tweaks about about:config does improve speed.

Its concept is like FlashGet (or similar download managers), though does not work as well.
Firefox is not used for being fast. It is not faster than IE.
However, due to environmental (of networks) issues. Its hard to tell the exact abilities of browsers.
Apple recently released Safari 3 for Windows XP and Vista in beta versions.
Its webpage has some graphs comparing Firefox2, IE7, Safari3, and Opera in terms of HTML, Java and some others.
I personally don't like safari, and am sticking with FF. If you are interested, check the statics out and see if it applies to you.

To double check just exit the browser then open again and check the about:config details la.. You can see that the changes were permanent.Originally posted by mhcampboy:really? cos it seems slower now.. -
