Firefox is too fast than IE6 still then we can make it more fast. How?

It’s open source and easily hackable to get maximum benefits! That’s power of being open. We use some of following hacks with in Firefox Browser and after applying them you would see sites open more fast and download becomes much quicker.

Hackz@Firefox

In Firefox address bar i.e. box where we type URL of a site to open that site type about:config and hit enter.

Now a page with many settings open. It consists of list of preferences and their current values. In left it’s the preference name which looks like accessibility.typeaheadfind. casesensitive , to it’s right are 3 columns with status,type and value of the corresponding preference. We need to change value of some preference or add some new preference to fast up browsing.

I n the left most column search for the preference name network.http.pipelining and in it’s value column you would find it set to false make it true by double clinking entire row. We change the value of this preference name from false to true.

Now look for preference name network.http.pipelining.maxrequests in left most column and change it’s value to 12 or more. (generally it’s 4 by default) To change the old value to new one double click on the entire row and enter new value in a prompt that appears and hit enter.

In the same way(by finding the row and double clicking on entire row) change the value of preference network.http.proxy.pipelining  to true if it’s false.

Now in same page right click on blank space and from right click menu click New->Boolean and a prompt opens asking for preference name. There enter network.http.pipelining.firstrequest  and after you hit enter it asks for value. Set the value to be true. So we created a new boolean preference (preference name) network.http.pipelining.firstrequest and set it’s value to be true.

Exactly in the same way create a new Integer preference name nglayout.initialpaint.delay and set it’s value to 0 (zero). To do it right click on any blank space in that about:config page and select New->Integer. When asked in a box to enter preference name enter nglayout.initialpaint.delay and click OK. Now when it asks for value for this preference enter 0 and press ok button. You are done with.

DONE! Now close that page and restart Firefox. If you have broadband internet then you see how fast page loads now. browse more faster, more downloads at a time, more pages can open at a time.

In summary we changed values of following preferences
network.http.pipelining -”true”
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests -”12″ (or higher)
network.http.proxy.pipelining -”true”

and  created following 2 new preferences-
network.http.pipelining.firstrequest -”true” Boolean Type
nglayout.initialpaint.delay -”0″     Integer Type
