Yes, firefox is already pretty fast but did you know that
you can tweak it and improve the speed even more?

That's the beauty of this program being open source.
Here's what you do:
In the URL bar, type about:config and press enter.
This will bring up the configuration menu where you can change the parameters of Firefox.

Note that these are what I've found to REALLY speed up
my Firefox significantly - and these settings seem to be
common among everybody else as well. But these settings are optimized for
broadband connections - I mean with as much concurrent requests we're going to open
up with pipelining lol you'd better have a big connection.

Double Click on the following settins and put in the
numbers below - for the true / false booleans - they'll change when you double click.

Code:
browser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs true
network.http.max-connections 48
network.http.max-connections-per-server – 16
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy – 8
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server – 4
network.http.pipelining – true
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests – 100
network.http.proxy.pipelining – true
network.http.request.timeout – 300


One more thing… Right-click somewhere on that
screen and add a NEW -> Integer. Name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay� and set
its value to “0�. This value is the amount of time the browser waits before
it acts on information it receives. Since you’re broadband - it shouldn’t have to wait.

Now you should notice you’re loading pages MUCH faster now!

 

Hi, ronjor

Hi Guys,

Vbnmu - I'm not sure what some of those characters are in your post, name it what?

The following link seems to match some of the settings Vbnmu states, check
out:

http://fasterfox.mozdev.org/

Uses presets to change 17 values at "about:config", the presets are: Default, Courteous, Optimized, & Turbo. See values at: http://fasterfox.mozdev.org/fasterfox.pdf. With Firefox2 I found Fasterfox, options, etc at: Tools > Add-Ons. They put a small page timer (lower right) screen. Way cool!!!

Take Care

hi Rico,
the characters are as i found them in that forum.
It was someone else posting suggestions in the miscellaneous area. wasn't a computer forum therefor the source can b questionned!
but it works fine on my MF.
u shud look into the other links u and TheQuest found. I will do the same asap and post the results.
i also stumbled on an app for IE. It actually lets you increase the restrictions set my microsoft. i am more than happy to share that program tho i really dunno what to think of it-av had mixed results from it.

 

With XP-Antispy you can increase the Max Connections as well as tweak various other XP settings.
