Faster browsing with Firefox


Recommended Posts

This is just for faster browsing, is it ?

Does anyone know if there is something to speed up FF when you want to start him up.

Cuz that takes like 5-10 sec before FF opens in a window after I klciked it ...

Is this normal or not ?

Depending on your system... it?s probably normal. After the second time you start it it?s way faster though.

Yes only when I leave at least 1 FF page open in my task bar. But if I reomove all the FF pages, and then double klick FF again, it also takes like 5sec ...

my System:

P3 1.01 GHz

256 MB RAM

XP Pro. SP1

Place this in your User.js using Tool>edit user files

you need chrome edit installed. Iv noticed this too sped up my firefox a bit too, offcourse you need to apply the tweak posted above.

user_pref("browser.display.show_image_placeholders", false);
user_pref(bowser.cache.disk_cache_ssl, true);
user_pref(content.interrupt.parsing, true);
user_pref(content.max.tokenizing.time, 3000000);
user_pref(content.maxtextrun, 8191);
user_pref(content.notify.backoffcount, 5);
user_pref(content.notify.interval, 750000);
user_pref(content.notify.ontimer, true);
user_pref(content.switch.threshold, 750000);
user_pref(browser.xul.error_pages.enabled, true);

Grrrrrrrrr.....

Even 8 is too many. Just use the default of 4.

network.http.pipelining.maxrequests: 4

The OS limits the number of connections that a server can have open at any given time. Apache by default limits itself to 256 connections. If you're hogging 8 of those connections, how many is that leaving for other users on a site?

The Mozilla crew has it at 4 as the default for a reason. Leave it that way.

That said, enabling pipelining is a good thing. Just don't abuse it. I've configured my server to ban users trying to use more than 4 simultaneous connections.

    • This is needed! Good to see them working on it. My solution up until now at work is to hide all MY folders, showing only the shortcuts, but linking my personal folders to the corresponding Libraries. Having this exposed in the Navigation pane of File Explorer means that I have easy nested access to my stuff, as well as all the shortcuts under the OneDrive folder when needed, often open as I only have about 10 or so linked sources.
