Fire fox speed tweaks

[bopdude]

found this on another forum. worked great for speeding up firefox, according to the 20 + replys, also theres an extension here the tweaks meant to be better though
I'm still on IE so don't know, try it and see for yourself let us know

If you want to increase the speed of your browsing with Firefox, follow these simple directions:

Open Firefox.
Type "about:config" in the adress bar (no quotation marks).
Find these options, double click each one and change to below values:

network.http.max-connections: 48

network.http.max-connections-per-server: 24

network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy: 12

network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server: 6

network.http.pipelining: true

network.http.pipelining.maxrequests: 32

network.http.proxy.pipelining: true

Close Firefox and enjoy the faster browsing.

I remember I did this for ver 0.9, but I forgot all about it.

this does beat the Tweak Network Settings extension by far.

Thanks for reminding me.

EDIT: This thing is flying now, it's as if I have went up a bandwidth, people you must try this instead of the extension.

That extension just allows you to change the settings without going into "about:config".

Tried those settings and they do seem faster. Richard M showed us how to that earlier this year.

24 connections per server seems a little high and you may get problems if a server will not allow that many.
If it works though then go for it, I personally set mine to double the default because they are set up for everyone from 56k to LAN as standard.

Eh?

I have to say that this may very well be the reason I've been waiting for to switch to Firefox. I've always found it to be slower than IE6, even the newest version but I've modded it as advised here and.....I'm quietly impressed

downquark1 posted some FireFox optimisations (customised user.js files for different system/net specs) way back in June in the FF0.9 thread.
