Tips To Make Firefox Faster

Read More About Computers

Many of us internet fanatics had been thrilled when we found out about the release of Firefox web browser several years ago. It boasted of security and speed, in addition to themes and plug-ins. It did seem to live up to the media hype, when it was first launched onto the scene it was efficient and impressive. It seemed to move at lightening speeds, and was a lot more secure than Internet Explorer. However, it appears over time with a great number of add-ons and plug-ins, and with each new upgrade, things seem to always be slowing it down.

While you may think this is actually the web browser's fault, truth of the matter it really is not. The truth is that a lot of factors play key roles in the speed of the browser. Things which include your computer's hardware, broadband or internet speed, the server of the web page you are visiting, and at times even the amount of tabs you have opened. All this taken into account you will still be able to find methods to make Firefox faster by making a few edits inside of the config file in your browser.

We are planning to walk you through a few actions that should allow you to speed up Firefox whenever you are surfing around. This is for broadband users and be aware that if you feel you made a mistake you are able to always click the 'restore to defaults' button.

This method will be enabling pipelining (items within the ' ' you need to just type what is in between, you do not need to include ' ').

* Open Firefox and in the url box type (without ' ') 'about:config'
* You will get a box that might say 'this will void your warranty' - click I'm Sure.
* In the find (or you can scroll to find) locate 'network.http.pipelining' - change to 'true' by double-clicking it.
* In the find (or you can scroll to find) locate 'network.http.proxy.pipelining' - set it to true by double-clicking it.
* Next find 'network.http.pipelining.maxrequests' and change the number to '8' by double clicking and changing the value.
* You should now right click someone in the area and click 'New' => Integer for the name 'nglayout.initialpaint.delay' and then set value to '0?.
* Close browser.

Open browser to see if this did indeed make Firefox faster. There are other hacks and tricks you can do, however, this one is the most common, and it works without having to modify any of your actual computer environment settings.
