Firefox tweaks

found this on another forum. worked great for speeding up firefox

If you want to increase the speed of your browsing with Firefox, follow these simple directions:

Open Firefox.
Type "about:config" in the adress bar (no quotation marks).
Find these options, double click each one and change to below values:

network.http.max-connections: 48

network.http.max-connections-per-server: 24

network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy: 12

network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server: 6

network.http.pipelining: true

network.http.pipelining.maxrequests: 32

network.http.proxy.pipelining: true

Close Firefox and enjoy the faster browsing.



but is it safe?

 

Just did the "tweaks" , so lets see how it works.

 

Thanks for the info Jarcher...I can't help commenting on your final words:
'close Firefox and enjoy faster browsing' Doesn't Firefox have to be open to use it?

For overall network bandwith tweaks I also use DRTCP021 for quick registry tweaks: http://www.broadbandreports.com/drtcp
and CableNut v4.08 for in depth tweaks: http://www.cablenut.com
...but I am sure most of you already knew about them?

Cheers,
Turco

Seems faster to me...Probably biased that it would be though

I like Firefox, I'm thinking of getting one for my bike

 

Getting one for your bike? Are we talking about the same firefox here?

 

I have noticed that there is a performance increase in web viewing using Jarchers tweaks, but I also had done Ace's links as well.

 

Speed Patch?? When I click on the link provided by Ace it comes up error 404 not found...
Did I do something wrong?
thanks shewolf

 

Try this link to download the Firefox Optimizer, I sure as heck noticed a difference! Hope you do too!

Tip: when you click on the 'Download' button, from the opening d/l links, choose the second (local mirror) one.
