Turbo charge FireFox
Firefox flies into over drive
Is it a bird… is it a plane..?
Ask any of Firefox’s avid supporters and they’ll tell you it’s the fastest browser around, true or not. Well, the INQ’s stumbled on a little tweak that’s easy to do and sends the browser into overdrive.
All you’ve got to do is type “about:config” into your address bar, wait for it to load, then alter the following entries. Change -
1.) “network.http.pipelining” to “true”
2.)”network.http.proxy.pipelining” to “true” and
3.) “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to 30 (meaning it will be able to make 30 requests at once.)
Don’t bother if you’re one of the unlucky sods still without broadband, but if you are, then give it a shot. I’ve tried it out and it works like a charm. Thanks to forevergeek.com!
By the way, if you make the changes and do not notice a change in speed, make sure you close the browser (all windows) once and then restart the browser. You could also try restarting the system once. I’ve made the changes, and believe me - the difference is tangible.
Enjoy!
