Hi Guy's

Well people before we updated the site and got all the new skins and other mod con's Redtailfool started a thread on how to tweek up your firefox program.

Any way me and Wes were looking for this thread and it seems to have dissapeared, So Wes sent it to me and i thought i'd put it back up for all the members to take a look and maybe apply this to your firefox.

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 recieves.

Have fun now! this will speed up the opening of pages on the web.
 
In addition to the above, give fasterfox a try.

There's many, many tweaks for Firefox. Google for more. Ohh the beauty of open source :) .
 
Thanks Harley.. what keyword did you use to find it????

I still had the link in one of our old PMs :D . No clue why the search option does not pick it up, but I have stated before that there are problems with our search ... :swear:
