ok while on mess.be forums ive noticed a topic saying if you have firefox download this.. It was a patch that makes your firefox browser work faster by connecting to multiple servers..

Most programs/patches like this makes it faster but are not noticeable.. But this is..

this is one reason why to switch to Firefox.

Download link is here

My friend sent me this a long time ago and this is all it is changing. No need for a program, you can do it manually

There is an extension to do this as well, with a nice GUI for those who are a bit afraid to use the text format as Matty suggested.

Check out Tweak Network Settings. It allows you to use a preset, and easily change things back to the default.

To make it even faster double click the numbers and change them accordingly

If my http.proxy.pipelining is 1.1, should I change it to 1.0 as your picture says?

The tweek network settings extension works better than that .zip file so I am happy. thanks

hmm.. The tweeker seems to have made mine slower

i just change to Firefox and i just patch
really good patch it's faster than IE

How hight can you make the settings to make it go really really really really fast?

thanks

I wouldn't set them too high or you'll hammer the server. Here's what I have:

network.http.max-connections - 48 (default 24)
network.http.max-connections-per-server - 24 (default 8)
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy - 12 (default 4)
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server - 6 (default 2)
network.http.pipelining - true
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests - 8 (default 4)
network.http.proxy.pipelining - true

And for a little more rendering speed, right-click anywhere and select New > Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set the value to 0. This changes the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves

Ok thanks

WHat do you mean restart firefox?  Cuz I haven't noticed any difference

didn't notice any difference with caboose's settings, no difference at all

Meh, I don't really notice much difference either... just thought I'd pitch in

Besides, I think it's better to have it tweaked, just in case... something... does... something else...

I tried the manual tweak that mike suggested on page 1 of this thread but that didnt work .... the auto tweaking patch works gr8 Thx

WOW!!!

Wow mines running alot faster!

I installed the patch.
http://members.optusnet.com.au/trewman/Firefox_Patcher.zip

Downloaded Tweak Network Settings
http://www.bitstorm.org/extensions/
(basically same as typing about:config but easier)

Settings:
max connections [48]
max connections per server [24]
max persistent connections per server [16]
max persistent connections per-proxy [16]
pipelining [tick]
proxy pipelining [tick]
pipelining maxrequests [8]

And thats about it.

Oh really? I would have never known!?

PS: Your double posting.

I personally don't use firefox, I never really heard of it till like last summer, but I was already use to using Maxthon so I said screw it.

Thanks for the help. I just installed the patch and going to experience faster browsing!

I han't even had FireFox for a week yet and I can already tell it's much better then IE. I wish the tabs were easier to use though, so I don't have to open lodes of windows like IE. But never mind

If you go on Tweak Network Settings ad click on Power, it reccomends them, but they are lower then in that picture.

So I put changed the settings so they are inbetween the settings in the picture and what the program reccomends.

its not always good to make it to high. It might actually make it worse because so much connections are being made
