For those using Firefox on a broadband
connection, I just came across the directions below for a couple of
speed-enhancing tweaks. I think resetting for pipelining with multiple
requests might be a real help for my group searches that go to several
websites at once:
Run Firefox? Have broadband? Here's Speed Tips
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!
