Make Firefox Your Fastest Web Browser!

by guy679, Jul 15, 2007

Something all Firefox users should know.

Open up your Firefox browser.
In the address bar, type in “about:config”. Hit Enter.
Filter "network".
Double click "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests".
Set the value from your default number (usually 4) to a higher number, like 10.

You will notice that your pages will load much faster now!

...Actually, a few other things need to be changed as well.

network.http.pipelining needs to be set to TRUE
network.http.proxy.pipelining alse needs to be set to TRUE

otherwise pipelining is disabled, and changing the max requests will do nothing. And any number higher than 8 is ineffective, as it maxes out at 8 (any more and people could take down sites with a high enough number).

And, finally, this tweak is only effective for broadband users.
