for those of us who don't go back to FF, what's the deal ?

Racecraft · 27-01-2005, 07:03 PM

If you have Firefox, do this:
1.Type "about

ig" into the address bar and hit enter. Scroll down and look for the following entries:

network.http.pipelining network.http.proxy.pipelining network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.

2. Alter the entries as follows:

Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.

Set "browser.turbo.enabled" - to "true"

Set "network.dns.disableIPv6 - to "true"

3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select 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.

If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages MUCH faster now!

Robocop · 27-01-2005, 08:17 PM

trueblue · 27-01-2005, 09:06 PM

got firefox loads fast.. but..

how do i make my default ie... and it loads some pages funny?

svo347 · 27-01-2005, 09:16 PM

Im having no problems.
Go to tools options then set the browser to default etc.

Dez · 27-01-2005, 09:54 PM

anyone got a decent page we can test this out on?

i set the number to 99 as well, so i wanna see what this beast can do

i went back and changed mine to 99999999.....just to be sure that is. doesnt make that much difference though. infact i think the higher the number the more it can load so the slower it will probably go.

Dez · 27-01-2005, 10:15 PM

yeah i think that a reasonable number that is still high will give the best results. if it allows to much at once it'll only have an adverse affect

lv619 · 27-01-2005, 10:16 PM

Yeah, I had it up around 200 before and was loading these forums pretty slow. Now back to 30 it's not too bad.

Does this site run Apache - mod_gzip?

xdc351 · 28-01-2005, 12:14 AM

Well i'll be buggered... thats heaps quicker!

How to set IE as default? Bugger that! Get RedHat Fedora3 and enjoy firefox as the built in default browser.... soooo much better than windows (not that I want to turn this thread into a linux distro argument)!
