Making FireFox Faster - 1/4/2005 7:59:37
This seems to work, but only if you are on Broadband.

I'm not sure if I can tell if it is faster or not (I may be imagining it is faster - which is okay too). It seemed pretty fast already. At least it didn't make it slower. I have also tried suggestions from here: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=53650 which I couldn't tell either.

Seems to run a tad slower on startup, but it can load a lot more pages at once, which is what I think makes the difference.

This is just incredible. I feel like I've upgraded from dial-up to broadband.. again. :)
Does anybody know if this works with the Mozilla Suite as well? I have several co-workers who use it at the office.

- It should. All you are doing is basically changing the amoutn of requests made. The usual is 4, but the max is set to 8 (default setting in mozilla).

Hmmm, I was thinking if your broadband was slower you would notice more, taking advantage of the different pipeline increases etc. My connection consistantly gets between 3.5-4.2mb, before and after change.

I messed up and set the following to type string: nglayout.initialpaint.delay
Where do I have to go to change it?
I beleive you need to delete the line from you pref.js file, since you can't remove via about:config. It shoudl be located in your c:/docuements and settings/... directory. Make sure you edit this(with notepad or whatever) when the browser is NOT up and running. Then just create it again in about:config after bringing your browser back up.

I changed the max requests to 8 and the speed that my pages are opening has at least tripled. Thanks!

Doesn't make much difference on a 633Mhz Processor...but you can see a difference from IE anyway...maha

RE: Making FireFox Faster - 1/6/2005 17:56:34
YIKES I have BIG problems with this!
I only set mine to 10 and I am getting locked out of the internet after only going to like 3 sites. I changed the values back to the original but I cannot find where to delete the nglayout.initialpaint.delay
It is NOT in the pref files.
Can anyone help me please.

Set the nglayout.initialpaint.delay to 0
I have mine set to that and it works fine

Shirley, You may not be looking at the correct pref.js file. I had a few on my system. If is shows up in the about:config it really should be in your pref.js file, it reads from there when opening the browser. Do a search for pref.js file on your system just to make sure. Also, make sure the browser is closed down when you update it because FF writes/reads to it when closing/opening.

I already did a search and looked at every pref file there is on my pc.
But just by changing the other stuff back to the default I can access the internet again. So I guess I am okay for now.
