Pink Floyd Veteran Posted November 16, 2004 Veteran Share Posted November 16, 2004 these settings are a must! here's mine for my 6mbps connection user_pref("network.http.max-connections", 128); user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 128); user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server", 64); user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy", 8); user_pref("network.http.pipelining", true); user_pref("network.http.pipelining.maxrequests", 30); user_pref("network.http.proxy.pipelining", true); user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 0); Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DELTA75329 Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 WOW! This works wonders in Netscape 7.2! Thanks!! :woot: Now if only IE had something like this. That would be nice too. :) Another reason FFX kicks the snot out of IE. (On speed, anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(On speed, anyway) 584927283[/snapback] You can change a few registry entires for IE to allow nearly the same kind of effect, removing the limits of parallel connections wich result in minor speed improvements...that is if you still havent switched to Firefox ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pestul Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Hmm.. dsl version of a tweak someone posted has nglayout.initialpaint.delay of "750".. , but some have it set to "0". I have a 3000/640 dsl connection, what would be recommended? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjakarl Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 is the network.http.proxy.keep-alive neccesary for someone with broadband it seems like it would be for keeping dialup connected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YBG Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 JUST DO IT :D Thanks for the tips, Firefox does run slightly faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboose447 Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Here is my Firefox config values I played with.Tested with my 1.5mbit DSL connection. Not for dial-up users! To start: Open Firefox. Type "about:config" in the adress bar. 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 After changing the values just close Firefox and open it again. Enjoy your fast browsing! :p 584916006[/snapback] Thats awesome! Things load faster! I doubled your numbers for my 3Mb DSL and its great! Awesome! Thanks!
