    HowTo: Speed Up Mozilla Firefox

    This Howto works on Breezy/Dapper ( Gnome and Kde and Xfce )
    If you got mozilla firefox and a broadband connection, this howto is really useful
    Ok let's start

    EDIT :: THIS ALSO WORKS WITH FF BON ECHO

    1) In your location bar, type :
    Code:
    about:config
    2) In the filter bar type :
    Code:
    network.http.pipelining
    Normally it says " false " , Double click it so it becomes " true "

    Go to the filter bar again and type :
    Code:
    network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
    Change it to 8

    Go to the filter bar again and type :
    Code:
    network.http.proxy.pipelining
    Normally it says " false " , Double click it so it becomes " true "


    Go to the filter bar again and type :
    Code:
    network.dns.disableIPv6
    Normally it says " false " , Double click it so it becomes " true "

    Go to the filter bar again and type :
    Code:
    plugin.expose_full_path
    Normally it says " false " , Double click it so it becomes " true "

    3) Now we are gonna make a new integer
    Code:
    Right click -> New -> Integer
    Name : nglayout.initialpaint.delay
    Value : 0
    Code:
    Right click -> New -> Integer
    Name : content.notify.backoffcount
    Value : 5
    Code:
    Right click -> New -> Integer
    Name : ui.submenuDelay
    Value : 0
    EDIT : Added a few more lines TY Pjotor

    Thats it !
    Firefox will now be 3 - 30 times faster in loading pages
    Hope you guys like it

    You might want to look into the Fasterfox extension as well...

    I use the FasterFox extension, and tried some of those out. Some of those variables weren't already set by FasterFox. I actually noticed some load time differences.

    Thanks,
    Harold

    P.S. This also works on XFCE, seeing how this machine is on that DE.
