Speeding up Gecko
Making FireFox as fast as Opera A few minor tweaks to speed up FireFox
Sam found the following page that explains how to speed up Firefox: http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum21/8007.htm
Briefly it's as follows:
To get started, type 'about:config' in your FireFox address bar. The settings to look for and change are:
- network.http.pipelining → true
- network.http.pipelining.maxrequests → 8
- network.http.proxy.pipelining → true
To change the settings, right-click them and choose “modify” from the context-menu.
These settings are also available in Mozilla and (probably) all browsers that use the gecko rendering engine.
These, and more, settings are explained here: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=53650 Last entrys on this Firefox tweaking forum was Posted: Sep Thu 22nd 2005 1:27am so many are still tweaking the Fox.
