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

 

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.

u also need to creat an entery called

network.http.pipelining.firstrequest

 

set that to "true" also.

 

This really made my browsing faster

For a dude who is eleven you sure as hell have got a rosy future with that brain of yours!

 

This is good though, i've at last become pissed off with Outlook and IE and my machine being hijacked by low lifes who think they're clever. Firefox was recomended to me, so I think i'll give it a go! :)

You may be interessted to know that the creators of firefoy also created something to replace outlook. Its called Thunderbird.

And all those who use Firefox may like to go here where they can download lots of plugins for it :wink:

Maxthon > Firefox

 

What's Maxthon dude?

While firefox is a good browser, is works better for downloading large files and/or a lot of files becuase of its built in download manager, Maxthon is a faster browser to use for surfing the intraweb.

 

EDIT: Also, Firefoxs' proxie service is nice, but you can find better programs for free that work better in the long run. If you have use for proxies, that is.

I once knew a great man. Nothing got to him, and he always smiled. May he forever rest in peace, knowing fully well that his freinds shall remember him.

Can't find a download link to the source code.. nor the Linux version.. and why does it look like it's using the IE engine? No thanks, I'll pass :).

 

p.s. proprietary software is bad unless you're making it yourself :)
