Speed up your Firefox

       Yes, firefox is already pretty fast but did you know that you can tweak it and improve the speed even more?


Here's what you do:
In the URL bar, type “ about:config ” and press enter. This will bring up the configuration “menu” where you can change the parameters of Firefox.


    Double Click on the following settins and put in the numbers below - for the true / false booleans - they’ll change when you double click.


Code:

• browser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs – true
• network.http.max-connections – 48
• network.http.max-connections-per-server – 16
• network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy – 8
• network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server – 4
• network.http.pipelining – true
• network.http.pipelining.maxrequests – 100
• network.http.proxy.pipelining – true
• network.http.request.timeout – 300
• Right-click somewhere on that screen and add a 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. Since you’re broadband - it shouldn’t have to wait.

Now you should notice you’re loading pages MUCH faster now!
