Got another one for all of you tweaking firefox out: 1) Ok fire up the fox  Just a heads up these settings make you download sites considerably faster, BUT they put a great deal of overload on the sites you visit2) type in " about:config" the address bar and then hit enter You'll see a whole load of options here you will need to change some of the values. These ones: network.http.max-connections = 64
network.http.max-connections-per-server= 20
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server= 10
network.http.pipelining = true
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests = 100 or 200 (choose one)
nglayout.initialpaint.delay = 0
network.http.request.max-start-delay = 0if you can't find " nglayout.initialpaint.delay" your going have to make it. Just right click and hit new integer. network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy = 10
network.http.proxy.pipelining = true
network.http.proxy.version = 1.0now close down firefox and start it up again. Now Firefox will burn up the web

This is great! But if you change the settings to only half of what you stated here a person will still see a great improvement in the speed. I have always wondered if this could be done or we would have to just wait till the new upgrade come out. It’s nice I like it already!

is this safe? i would like to try it but would it screw up firefox in some way that noone knows about? is there anything you have experienced after changing these settings? i am just curious to know before i change it all.

Depends on what you think is safe.. firefox was made to be modded in a way. As for it screwing up firefox my friends and I have all done it and haven't seen anything wrong from it, but that doesn't mean that something can't go wrong. Just means it shouldn't. For what I have experienced after doing this... the d/ling speed of a site seems to be faster, but not that much.

i did it and have gotten no problems since. noticed a increase in speed, although not a great one. kind of like speeding up your modem on 56k, i forget how but it involved changing some numbers around and it would be much faster

I have been running these settings for quite some time now with no problems. The start delay setting I would not recomend to anyone with a slower computer because in the end it will just slow things down those of you using windows xp can greatly inprove the start time of firefox by making it prefetch. All that you have to do is put "/Prefetch:1" minus the quotes at the end of the target box in the short cut.

I tried this tweak, and Firefox does fetch files and pages faster. But on my computer, it's still quite slow for surfing the net. I suspect it's because Firefox is using up much CPU on my computer. What can I do to further speed Firefox up?

Optimise your internet conenction speed.It's something like about:config above but to make sure you don't make a mess out of your registry, get SpeedGuide's TCPOptimizer.I cannot gurantee 100% that there will be a significant increase in speed but however, it may vary from many reasons.The tweaks stated above can increase surfing speed but it will slow down downloads that are on.

Im curiouse... Has anyone had a go at tweaking Firefox's source code ??? I compiled firefox myself. the pre-compiled firefox is linked againsed the older GTK graphic library, (all my other programs are linked againsed th enewer gtk2) compiling yourself with the "gtk2" use flag will link it againsed gtk2. saves me having to download gtk1 and gtk2 themes

Wow! Excellent! My firefox is now super fast! What actually was done to increase the speed of loading webpages? Just curious as there is no real way you can really INCREASE the speed of loading... thanks Erm...I think this might be out of the question but i just wanna know how this "number of posts" thing operates. Is there a minimum word limit or something to get 1 good post? thanks

Isn't this more or less what the Fasterfox add-on does? Having a look at the preference window, it seems like it is basically a GUI for editing these values, along with several preset options. Pipelining, cache, connections... It looks the same. I think that if you want to do this, you might as well use the add-on because it's just a little easier.

Right, I have run into a problem. This advancement starts to fail when it comes to wide-site jspx communications. The website Pogo.com deteriorates with this improvement. If someone could please post the original values, that would be a great help.

There is not going to be a lot that you can go in and change easily that is not already an option somewhere, either in the preferences or the config. The source code has improved a good bit (in quality: organization, naming conventions, etc.) since its Netscape days, but there is still a fair learning curve. I have not made changes to it in a while but I have used it as a teaching tool before. It is an excellent example of a complex real-world application that students can take apart. It also demonstrates good practices and some very bad. The latter mostly seem to be leftovers from earlier days but there is a lot of it. In particular, the Firefox codebase is a very good demonstration of portable programming, both just how hideous some of the code has to be to deal with OS bugs and non-standard system libraries and how well Firefox does handle it. If you do want to invest the time, the project welcomes volunteers and you will learn a good deal.
