Well Mozilla firefox is the world’s most commonly used browser and has replace internet explorer largely because of the browsing speed difference adn flexibility between both browsers, today i’m going to show you how to make Mozilla Firefox.. even faster (yes its possible).. results may vary depending upon internet connection etc.. but i’m on a 512Kbs DSL connection and my browsing speed just increased by about 10 times.
I have tried out each of the following tricks and i garuntee you they will in no way harm firefox or your computer.. ^^ so lets begin?
All you need is firefox installed on your pc.. just launch firefox and type “about:config” into your address bar.. click “i’ll be careful, i promise” and it’ll open loads of options and a filter box.
1. Type “network.http.pipelining” in the filter search bar, so all other options are gone, double click the “network.http.pipelining“ option and double click it to set it to true.
2. Type “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” in the filter bar and double click the option, it will prompt you for a value, set it to 8.
3. Type “network.http.proxy.pipelining” in the filter bar and once you see the option double click on it to set it to true.
4. Type “network.dns.disableIPv6“ in the filter bar and once you see the option double click it to set its value to true.
5. (Click Show all from the filter bar), Right-click anywhere in the options area and click new > Boolean; type in “content.interrupt.parsing” as the new Boolean value, in the pop-up window and click OK, set the value to true.
6. Right Click anywhere again, select new > integer and enter “content.max.tokenizing.time” in as the new integer value and click OK, set its value to 2250000 and click Ok.
7. Right Click anywhere once more, select new > integer and enter “content.notify.interval” as the new integer value, click OK and set its value to 750000 and click OK.
8. Right Click again, select new > Boolean and enter “content.notify.ontimer” in as the new boolean value, click OK, set its value to true and click OK.
9. Right Click again (i know this be getting terribly boring and repetitive but hang in there.. think of it this way, only 2 more to go
excluding this one.. ), select new > integer and enter “content.notify.backoffcount” in as the new integer value, click OK and set its value to 5 and click OK.
10. Right Click.. again, select new > integer and enter “content.switch.threshold“ in as the new integer value, click OK, set its value to 750000 and click OK.
11. Right Click again, select new > integer and enter “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” in as the new integer value, and click OK, set its value to 0 and click OK.. AND YOU’RE DONE!!!!
WOOHOOO!!! restart firefox and feel the speeeeed! ^^ i hope you enjoy this post.. and i’ll post how to put a password on a folder (on an NTFS partition) later today.. as promised.
Till then Happy Surfing ^^!!!
