[TUTORIAL] Surf faster with Mozilla Firefox

Automatically translated from French.

We're going to teach you how to improve the speed of Mozilla on PC :accord:

First of all you need to download the latest version of FireFox here

Once installed on your PC, go to your home page, then delete the internet address and type about:config, then confirm, you'll get to this:
Image unavailable (removed by its host) Click on: I promise I'll be careful :arff:

Then look for the following values using the Filter bar (if needed), and modify them by double-clicking on them:
Image unavailable (removed by its host) network.dns.disableIPv6 => true
network.http.pipelining => true
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests => 8
network.http.proxy.pipelining => true => true
network.http.pipelining => true
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests => 8
network.http.proxy.pipelining => true


Then, add a new entry. Just right-click anywhere, choose "New then Integer"

Give this new entry the name nglayout.initialpaint.delay.
Image unavailable (removed by its host) And give it the value 0. :bravo:

There, our value has been created :accord:
Image unavailable (removed by its host) Then just restart Firefox to apply the changes.

Here are the different loading times observed on Google's home page (tests done under similar conditions with cache cleared):
-loading Google.fr with optimization: 1.3s; 1.5s
-loading Google.fr without optimization: 2.6s; 2.8s

It seems to work well, without really checking on timing.
Thanks for the tip :bravo:

I have my Megakey installed then, I'm staying on 4.0 because it's not compatible with the latest version :)

Thanks anyway :98:

Or else, use Google Chrome: you browse fast with a real browser that doesn't lag ^^

I bet he has the fuzzy dice hanging from the mirror and an air horn on the handlebar. :mrgreen:

Ah yes, by the way this is a firefox topic, about open source, about free software, not an advertising tool linked to the google server.

@mamule: I was about to do it when I got to the line "etwork.http.proxy.pipelining => true => true" to remove the duplicate => true
Then moving on to the next line I saw that it was a line already given. So then I was :shock: and I figured while doing his copy/paste that he might have pasted the wrong lines and so was missing some lines.
I must have wanted to call him out with my previous message.

Or else sniper3d simply messed up his paste and only added the same lines, without missing any. In that case yes I could have edited it.
