Windows Mozilla Speed Tweaks

Here are some Mozilla Speed Tweaks ( Will work on Fire Fox too )

1. Type "about :config" in the adress field.
2. Set the value of network.http.pipelining to "true".
3. Set the value of network.http.pipelining.maxrequests to "100".
4. Set the value of network.http.proxy.pipelining to "true"
5. Set the value of nglayout.initialpaint.delay to "0"

I did Test all of these tweaks, and it does speed to increase the speed

The Tweaks were taken from http://www.computerbb.org/about150.html

Enjoy

 

Cool, didn't know that existed. Wish there was some sort of explanation of what exactly those settings alter though

I notice you can change the header types that mozilla accepts though which is useful!

 

Hmm I'm not sure either but I think it goes something like this

Pipelining max requests is the number of connections the browser will make to the server to get the webpage. If you specify it to use "100", then it will make hundred 100 connections to the server to download the webpage.
Setting pipelining to true will tell the browser to make more connections

This samething apply to proxy pipelining, which means it tells the browser to make multiple connections to the proxy server.

Nglayout.intialpaint I bieleve, prevents Mozilla from delaying a couple of seconds before finally showing up on the screen

Enjoy !

 

hum that’s pretty cool

Works in Netscape as well

 

Now we definetly know Mozilla evolved from Netscape

 

Well....i cant quite get it to work, i cant get into about :config, it says invalid URL!

 

Take the space out, it's "about:config".

 

Oooooh.. I love you, man.

 

isn't it the other way around? mozilla is(was) the development name for the browser suite before it was finalized into netscape, at least that's how i always understood it.

edited to add: thanks for the browser tweaks, now firefox on linux is even faster, and i didn't think that was possible

 

Here's a pretty brief history of Netscape/Mozilla.

 

what do i change to make firefox only launch one window?eg when i click on a link in Outlook it launches a new tab not a new browser.

 

Install TabBrowser Extensions.

 

I had to add an entry for nglayout.initialpaint.delay cause it wasn't there by default. Did y'all already have that entry?

 

I think it was there by default in 0.8, but you have to add it in 0.9.

 

Nope i didn't have that either.

Just added it like you did. Definate speed increase isn't there

Cheers for the tips.

 

Have you got a link for that coz i can't find it anywhere and it sounds dead useful

 

Linky - will be on there somewhere

 

Cheers for the linky

It is indeed a damn awesome extension

 

Gerr i don't think that that extention is .9 friendly as it killed my .9 install.
luckly i know where the bookmarks be stored so i twas able to save them.
