Re: not me :)Firefox (with the default config) never really ran slowly for me, but I was curious and tried it out on a Linux box and a Windows box.
I noticed the increased CPU usage while loading pages (in Windows) and I really didn't notice pages loading any faster (either platform), so back to the default settings for me. | |

Even with the final version of 1.0 I'm still experiencing some sort of glitch where if firefox.exe is running for a good while, it starts eating up just about all the CPU resources essentially grinding my system to a halt before I have to kill it and restart it. I'm running an Athlon XP 2000+. | |

Should I even bother? My FF works fine for me. Will it really make a big diff. in the load times or is it negligible? | |

oddi've had pipelining enabled for years on IE without any noticably adverse effects, and it's always been enabled in Firefox through the Moox (» www.moox.ws) builds i've used. i think the key is not trying to go overboard on the simultaneous connections number, though i've read that it's hardwired in Firefox to not go past 8. | |

Still doesnt fix problems behind a BlueCoat DSLR @ Work |
We use a BlueCoat net nanny/cache engine here. Supposedly, it was designed for "IE only". I constatly get redirection timeouts from CNN.com and news.com.com.com.com.com.org.com Really annoying, but I keep using it cause I just hate IE that much. Here's what DSLR looks like on FF 1.0 from work: | |

Wow! Much faster.Wow... I made the appropriate changes except set 'network.http.pipelining.maxrequests' to '10' and noticed a huge change.... much, much faster.
Awesome! Yet another reason to move to Firefox!
Wonder if there is a way to set this as default when installing? I am hopefully taking all of our 125 work PCs to FF in the future and would love to have this as the default installation. | |

I only changed max request to 8 and found a big difference - by also changing Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true" & Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true" and setting value to Zero i found this slowed me down a bit.
So now everything default except max request which is set at 8. | |

Re: Dont Need It, Besides...» addons.update.mozilla.or ··· .0&go=GoBesides you can use that extension above that will enable you to tweak those settings alot better and all in one place. Also allows you to just as easily disable it. I have had no problems and i'm running that extension on 3 computers. | |

AntiSpy softwareGo-faster tweak for Firefox Here's a great go-faster tip for Firefox, the free, rock-solid, secure browser from the Mozilla Foundation:
1.Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. 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.
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! | |

It works better now than in earlier versionsI had tried it in the 0.9 version and the result was that while it was faster, many pages would just fail to load completely (mostly images). They seemed to have fixed this problem in 1.0 and I've noticed that it is faster, especially with pages that contain a lot of content.
Also you can increase speeds by adding more upping the number of maximum connections per server. | |

Another Firefox TweakFound this on a site. It works great. Will make Firefox open up a lot quicker.
Right click your short cut that you click to open your firefox and click Properties and in the Target field
Add /Prefetch:1 to the end so it should look something like this:
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" /Prefetch:1
Click Apply then OK
I tried this today at work and man does it open really fast now. | |

Re: Another Firefox TweakBuilds a prefetcher file for that application in priority 1 mode.
Prefetching to make it simple is where XP looks, re-arranges the disk as well as knowing the location and segments where the information is stored for that application, and efficiently prepares them for in-memory launches so the time required for launching the program is reduced.
Not all programs play well with the prefetcher however.
If someone is up for it they can give a more detailed answer. | |

The correct way "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -Prefetch | |

wellthis isn't always a good thing..
each pipline is a request to the page... so those of you setting up the pipeline to be 30 could potentially be hosing up a website, depending on the number of conenctions they allow..
Mozilla set this for a reason..... | |

Re: how do u deleteIn about:config, double click on it and default settings will be set.
In the case of the added key nglayout.initialpaint.delay, it will then be gone. The default is 250 yet this value is not there by default (shrug). | |

RFCYou can do the same thing in IE by using a well know registry tweak.
Understand what you are doing goes against RFC's. You could find yourself banned by site owners as all those open connections cause severe load to web servers. | |

network pipelining...Setting the pipelining requests to 30 is stupid anyways, because the hard limit is 8, and setting it to anything more then 8, is going to be ignored anyways. | |
