Make FireFox Load Pages Faster

[Angel]

ONLY DO THIS IF YOU ARE ON A BROADBAND/WIRELESS INTERNET CONNECTION!

Kitty Dynamite's thread reminded me of a little trick I know to make FireFox load pages much faster. Here it is:

So normally when you go to a webpage, FireFox will make one request to load something at a time. However, you can change this to make it make multiple requests at once. This causes pages to load very fast. Take these steps to make this happen:


1. Type "about:config" into the adress bar and hit "enter".
   
2. Scroll down and look for these entries:
   --network.http.pipelining, network.http.proxy.pipelining, and network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
   
3. Alter these entries to be as such:
   --Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true".
   --Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true".
   --Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to 8.
   
4. Finally right-click anywhere and select New -> Integer.
   --Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set it to 0.
   
   BAM! Now your pages are loading so much faster! Aren't you happy? :D

How do I edit these as such?
Edit: I figured it out

Btw, yes, I AM HAPPEH

holy crap... *notices how fast even this page loaded*

Chyaa, it works amazingly doesn't it?! :D




Try it out on the MAD. I re-did this when making this thread to make sure I was doing it right, and that's a MASSIVE difference. @.@

Thanks for the tip, I'll do that later...Opera is still faster =P

PS-I use both
PSS-you can guess what I'm a fanboy of xD

But yeah, good tip! That is smart of ya

Doing this to FireFox will make it better than Opera, I swear! >D

I find that Opera is a gigantic pain in the butt. Sometimes it won't refresh pages, which is REALLY FREAKING IRRITATING when you're on a forum or something like that. Feh. The only good thing about it is that it doesn't use a lot of RAM.

Anyway, my internet loads pages pretty fast anyway, but I might try this later. :> Nice find, dude.
