In this tutorial you will be given simple steps to improve your surfing experience by speeding up your browser tremendously. In order to do this we must configure the default settings of firefox which is very simple. Firefox will allow us to do this by simply typing in a web address. Please be careful and follow the instructions step by step. This trick could also be used if your offline.
1. type 'about:config' into your Firefox address Bar.
Next you will see a list of configurations that you could make.
2. find "network.http.pipelining" By default this is set as false. Double click on it in order to change this to true. What this does is simply allows firefox to send multiple requests to a website.
3. Next a little bellow it you will see network.http.proxy.pipelining again you must double click this to change it to true. By default this is False.
4. Finally you have reached the last step, how we need to create an integer. You do this by right clicking anywhere and select new - integer. Now for the Preference name would be nglayout.initialpaint.delay. Now set its value to zero. What this integer does is make the browser automatically display everything that it loads. And we set it to zero so it doesn’t wait before displaying.
That’s it, now we recommend that you close the browser by going on File - Exit. Next restart your computer and open up your browser and you should see a difference.
Well, it works wonders for me so far... what I want to ask is "What side-effects are there"? If it were all good & no bad - wouldn't they enable it by default?
thats a http 1.1 thing, connections can be held open and many requests can be made through them instead of restarting the connection after getting each resource. dunno why its not enabled by default, the pro's outweigh the cons by a longshot.
1. this "trick" is very old already
2. the pipelining puts extra load on the servers, so it *can* be a bad thing if you push the values too high
3. there is a plugin called "FasterFox" which does this (and even more) for you, just download it from the firefox extensions site.
well i found out that with pipelining enabled the irrlicht forum can be a bit or even a lot slower. because sourceforge is already dead slow without pipelining it sometimes really is _very_ slow with pipelining enabled because you make several connections to the web server.
It feels as if my bandwidth had been boosted!
, I tried it out, and it made it a bit slower
