a few questions about firefox

i have firefox and love using it but i have a few questions

i have been looking up ways to speed it up and i keep finding set "network.http.pipelining" to true i also notice theres a "network.http.pipelining.ssl" file set to false does anyone know what changing it and others like it to true and would it be benificial?

also does anyone know how to get more speed out of my firefox other then the ones i keep finding that all say the same thing like from this site http://howto.helpero.com/howto/Speed-Up-Firefox_31.html

tyvm in advance for any answers

 

You can try useing this program to speed up your isp.It works great.
And it is Free
(Internet Cell Boost)
http://download.cnet.com/Internet-Cell-Boost/3000-18512_4-10766738.html?tag=mncol

Works great

 

ill let you know the results real soon

 

I have downloaded the internet cell boost and I couldn't see much difference in internet browsing on both IE8 and FF3

 

im running on 5mb and lower dsl and its the new firefox 3.9 i think is the latest release i updated last night and i tryed that cell program worked great my speed must have trippled

 

ya my speed dropped again it seems it went temporery booste go figure

 

still need speed boost for my firefox

any guides or anything especialy on making sites with alot of media load faster they take a life time to load

 

there are alot of other factors to consider when it comes to making web pages load faster. 1 is your internet connection, 2 is the hardware you have (low RAM, slower processors, and low end video cards). 3, other software running which would take ram from firefox.

try game booster from iobit

it's supposed to speed up games, but also can be used for firefox.

 

Firefox is currently not optimized for windows, I would suggest giving opera 9.64 a try, im currently running that browser and I have no problems with it at the moment. Webpages are loading quite fast and the browser dosnt take much memory as firefox does.

Firefox has been dubbed 'memory hog' at the moment. :-D

but the choice is up to you

 

lol i had been debating on maybe using opera

 

What sites are slow with Firefox running? Is it all sites, including loading up majorgeeks? Also, IMHO, using speedup programs really do not help in the slightest. Btw, how many add-ons do you have installed on Firefox?

[Currently running Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1b5pre) Gecko/20090430 Firefox/2 ID:20090430044210]

 

Try this one. It may help.

http://www.bitstorm.org/extensions/tweak/

 

i have about 7 extensions and the nasa night launch theme

and ill try that program after im done defraging comp

 

I have Firefox 3 with opera 9.64 and IE8, Firefox 3 has got 15 extensions installed on it and opera 9.64 has nothing. Firefox is running ok but opera 9.64 is running faster I even tried uninstalling all the extensions and the opera browser still running faster than firefox.

but like I said the choice is up to you, depends on what you want the browser to do, the tweaks stated in earlier posts do work but its only a temporary fix and dont last long.

 

ya i decided to try it today it works great lol opera is better for windows but i hope firefox gets a windows friendlier version soon

 

Firefox at the moment are concerntrating on releasing their new browser which supposed to be the fastest browser in the market. Firefox are calling this mozilla minefield. Bu there dont know when the final release is going to be but youcan download the beta for it and see for yourselve how good it is.

I did give it a try but most of the websites dont work on it at the moment as its still only in testing.

 

ok i just did the speed test for firefox, opera, internet explorer (in case browser had somthing to do with results) (see pictures)

i checked and im about 16.5ft from the modem and it is dsl 5MB and lower i believe

protection: avg free edition, defult firewall that came with computer, windows defender

 

the rendering main problem is the fact that my video card is out dated its a NVIDA TNT 64 edition

 

that would be the first thing that could slow down some pages, especially ones with alot of flash or java content.
