How to make your Firefox faster
 

These 3 easy steps will make firefox operate and load pages insanely fast. Only use this if you have a broadband or otherwise fast internet connection.



1: Access the settings list

1. Go to the address bar and type about:config then press enter.
2. You will see a window with many settings, and a "filter" (a.k.a. search) bar at the top.



2: Change current settings

1. Search for these settings in the filter bar, and
2. Double click to modify. the true/false settings can also be changed with a double-click.
(setting - value)

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
NOTE: the above command, (pipelining), is the act of sending multiple requests for information to a server. some servers might not like 100 requests at once, so if this slows down performance on some sites (which is uncommon), change this value to 10, or back to the default 2.
network.http.proxy.pipelining – true
network.http.request.timeout – 300



3: Add new settings

1. Right-click somewhere in the window and highlight new, then select integer.

content.notify.interval - 500000
(thats five hundred thousand, not fifty thousand)

2. Create another new integer.

browser.cache.memory.capacity - 65536
NOTE: only use if you have lots of RAM (2+ GB). value can be adjusted if needed.



Final Step

Restart firefox and enjoy your ridiculously fucking fast new browser

The last step in section 2 didn't work. But it is a hell of a lot faster.

Did you write this guide? Thanks for posting.

There's a lot of useful guides on rotteneggs, it's a social networking site for pranksters i learned a lot of shit from there.

Ok, I did most of those steps, except the ram shit.

Thanks.

This worked. However I noticed a few settings were already put at the values you posted. Mozilla must have tweaked it themselves.

thanks. i couldnt find network.http.request.timeout on my computer though.

thanks alot tho. helped :)

This seems to of helped alot of people, i might post a few more of them. :o

this actually worked! <3 luv forever

I've done these forever.

But you wouldn't have to if you had a Windows Server.
