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.

    • I do not remember anything happening to Apple and Google for bribing people not to make Apps for Windows Phone. Edge barley has a foot print to matter. If the other browser companies want more of the Pie, they need to do better. I use Brave on all my personal device. However in industry, Edge of default, as we can manage it easier with MS tools.
    • On the one hand, it shouldn't be difficult. You buy a computer, you decide what OS you want, which browser etc. Simple enough. But that's the techie side of things. My sister, my mother, wouldn't bother with such a thought. And I'm pretty sure that if you presented a window asking them what to pick they would say, "I don't care! I just want to access my Email!"
