Use firefox? give this a go.. by Trewman on 11-15-2004 at 06:11 AM

Hello beautiful people :)

If you use firefox and you would like faster browsing please try out my new patch.

It enables pipelining on your firefox browser to make the browser connect to the server multiple times to make the page load quicker.

Some people have reported it doesnt work at all but a lot have said it does work very well. Even on a dialup connection speeds are faster.

So give it a go and tell me if it worked or what you didnt like about it etc..

The difference is noticable.

I use the "Tweak Network Settings" extension for Firefox, for me, on my slowwww 256k ADSL, the difference is... minimal.

did you try my patch instead... ?


RE: Use firefox? give this a go.. by -dt- on 11-15-2004 at 09:23 AM

does this just modify the following values in about:config
browser.turbo.enabled (to true)
network.http.pipelining (to true)
network.http.proxy.pipelining (to true)
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
network.http.max-connections
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server
nglayout.initialpaint.delay (to 0)


because if it does ive already tweaked all of that and more so i wont install it

also if youw ant to speed up your firefox you could try using a optimized build  i recommend using a MOOX BUILD
