Superfly Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 Hello everyone! Last night I was browsing aruond YouTube and found a great tutorial about how to speed up your (already fast) Fire Fox. This will only work if you are on high-speed internet! . If you are using dial-up, your browsers configuration is already set for dial-up. Now those of you on high-speed, just follow the simple steps below to manually change some config settings and it's like you can't even blink between page loads! 1. Type "about:config" in your address bar. 2. Using the filter (located at the top of the page) type in "network.http.pipe" >>> You should now only see two or three things on your list. 3. The one at the very top (or titled "network.http.pipelining") - Double click on it which will change it's value to TRUE. 4. The one at the very bottom (or titled "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests") - Doube click on it, a box will appear. Change the value to 10, 20, 30, or anywhere in between. The default setting is 4 (which is for dial-up users). 5. Apply your settings, and start browsing, you should see a noticable different in your page loads! Yay! Quote
Loc Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 Wow thanks, I didn't have 3 though, I only had the 2 you listed. Quote
Hubert Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 ooh, It actually worked (Whatever now It is:D )! Thanks for the tip. Edit: The same here. Only 2. Quote
Superfly Posted January 13, 2008 Author Posted January 13, 2008 Well, there is 3 on my computer. :P Thanks for letting me know, I've updated the post. ;) Quote
Loc Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 Maybe T.J. is magical!!! Let's trap him and take his magic!!!!! Quote
Hubert Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 Hum, I don't think that it's such a good idea Loc... Quote
Superfly Posted January 13, 2008 Author Posted January 13, 2008 Haha, yea good luck catching me. ;) I've got places to hide. :shiftyeyes_anim: However, lets please stay on-topic. :offtopic: This was just a general warning to all. :P Quote
Loc Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 *Put's away cage, harpoon launcher, and other various capture devices* Ok, but....I want magic :( Edit by Superfly-Mod TJ: This post is allowed, even though it's extremely off-topic. Loocem was on the page before I posted the message above, therefore he didn't get a chance to see the warning. ;) However, everyone has had their fair shot of seeing these two warnings now. :P Quote
Superfly Posted January 13, 2008 Author Posted January 13, 2008 :P I'm not trying to scare you all from posting, but we do need to keep it on-topic. We can chat about the effects you've noticed. Has anyone noticed the decrease of page loading time? Quote
Loc Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 I have, mainly in the loading of images, they load 300% faster! Edit:On your warning on my post above you said 'shoot' when it should be 'shot'. Sorry I'm picky. Quote
Hubert Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 Yes, it usually takes a long time on the Search Results ( Ok, not long time, but longer) but now it doesn't. Quote
Superfly Posted January 13, 2008 Author Posted January 13, 2008 (: :thumbsup: :cap: :bike: :guitar: Isn't it great! Last night, I could literally not blink while a page was loading, images are for sure FASTER than ever. Edit: Spelling mistake corrected. Quote
Loc Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 All the smiley men are instant!!! Woot for fastness!!!! Quote
Hubert Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 Mozilla Firefox is Back! Better ( maby?) and faster. Quote
Loc Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 My computer in Alabama, it takes about 7 minutes to load a page like this, but here now, it takes less than less than a second!!!! Quote
Meeptroid Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 I really gotta check this out! I'll be sure to use this little trick when I get on my computer in my room at home. I used to be an avid Internet Explorer fanboy, but I threw all that away when Firefox entered my life. Firefox saves all. Think of all the Rotton Left Boots I can snatch from the Money Tree after I use that tutorial. :O Quote
Loc Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 *gasp* I almost forgot about my advantage on the money tree!!!*runs off to pwn everyone at getting stuffs* Quote
Ashley Rose Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 Thanks so much it does run faster! Fast enough for me to notice it at least lol...I hate waiting for pages to load so I am very happy you posted this! Quote
antiaircraft Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 Heh, I did this a while back when I was pretty new to Firefox. It is a pretty handy tweak, although it doesn't do that much for my supposedly high-speed internet. Quote
Guest Levy Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 OMG Teej, thanks for the mod! Now TDN is loading even faster! ^_^ And with the new server's RAM and my RAM upgrades... The only way it would load any faster is if I get a faster processor, unfortunatly the motherboard won't take anything faster. <_< Quote
smumpkins Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 I did see an improvement, though it was set to true and 8 when I checked it. Not entirely sure why those settings, though. >_>;; Quote
antiaircraft Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 Maybe somebody was already trying to make it faster? Quote
