Speedup Firefox


Type “about:config” into the address bar and hit enter. In the filter box, type the following
network.http.pipelining
Double click on it and make it “true”.
Then again, type the following in the filter box
network.http.proxy.pipelining
Again, double click on it and make it “true”.
Similarly type the following in filter box and set it to 20. This means it will be able to make 20 requests at a time.
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
Now, right-click anywhere and select New-> Boolean
and name it
network.http.pipelining.firstrequest
and set it to “true”.
Normally the browser makes one request to a web page at a time. After enabling pipelining, it will make several request at once, which really speeds up page loading.
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. Also create another integer
content.notify.interval
and set its value “0″.
When you go to download multiple files you may notice that Firefox will only let you download two files at a time. If you want to download more you have to increase the number of connections Firefox can make. Type the following in the filter box
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server
and set its value to 8. Now you can able to download 8 files simultaneously.

Type “about:config” into the address bar and hit enter. In the filter box, type the following

network.http.pipelining
