sorry, some peepolz don't like faster browsers.
1. Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit enter. Scroll down and look for the following entries:
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 recieves.
Mines a lot faster now, and it does no harm to your firefox, unless going faster hurts.
Credits to spaz as he's the only one who cares about them. Otherwise, it's wherever my friend got it from >_<.
You failed to mention that you copied and pasted the directions from somewhere else...
Yes, enabling HTTP pipelining can dramatically improve networking performance. The downside, and the reason it's not enabled by default, is that it can prevent Web pages from displaying correctly. If you've enabled this, and you find pages that aren't displaying correctly, please don't blame Firefox or the Web developer. It's probably the fact that you enabled an "unsupported" feature which is incompatible with some Web servers and proxy servers.
The second change, setting the initial paint delay at zero, may get you some content on the screen faster, but it's worth noting that it will dramatically slow down the time it takes the entire page to display. Here's what's going on. Gecko, Firefox's rendering engine, is trying to optimize between the cost of waiting for a bit more data versus doing more painting and reflows as new data comes in. Waiting a bit longer before it starts painting the page gives Gecko a chance to receive more content before chewing up CPU cycles to render and reflow the document. If you drop this value down to zero or near zero, that means you'll see the page start displaying a bit earlier, but not having received much data in that short interval, you'll have a lot more paint and reflow cycles to complete rendering of the page.
This one probably comes down to a combination of bandwidth, CPU speed, and personal preference. If it works for you, and you don't mind the side-effects, then great. Just note that what works for one person/system, may not work for another.
So the paint delay probably isn't necessary. Also, 30 is excessive, 8 should be sufficient.

Opera also supports pipelining. IE does not currently. Some servers running Microsoft server software may not work correctly if you pipeline. Always understand what you're doing before you change settings.
Yes, i copied it from my post on AiJMS
Wow... it did indeed speed up firefox quite a bit. (Instead of 30, I used 20
)
Yah, this is kind of old (and I think there was a topic about this). I totally forgot about it though, thanks for the reminder
And I just set it to 8 requests. Thats the maximum Mozilla advises.
OMG PLAGIARISM LOL...
Weird even though I've never done this before all of the recommended settings above are already as it is
I'm guessing these are the default settings for the newest release of ff?

I suppose 542 other sites copied you? Don't take credit for something you didn't write.
Jakachuy has actually been warned about plagiarism before, too... if he does it again, I'm going to have to take action.
I'm sorry, but what is going on here? I want faster Firefox
Jakachay is being arrogant and childish about the fact that he was caught plagiarising...again.
Can someone please repost the information so that this thread is useful to those who want a faster firefox?

Well, my name is Jakachuy, not Jakachay, and also, I didn't copy and paste, my friend gave it to me, he must've copied and pasted I didn't! And I'll repost it if Spoz will stop talking so technical =(.
