New Tweaks for Firefox 3
Apart from one or two minor hiccups the Firefox 3 rollout seems to have gone quite smoothly and the general consensus is so far so good. However, there’s always room for improvement and already several of the top tweakers have set about hacking into Firefox 3’s configuration menu, to pep it up, and modify or disable some of the more annoying features.
To open the Config menu go to the address bar and type about:Config.. Read and understand the warning message and click I’ll be careful…
To change a True/False value simply right click on it and select Toggle, for numerical values click Modify. Altered setting appear in bold type, so you can easily go back and reset them if something goes wrong. Here a few tried and tested performance mods to get you started:
gfx.color_management.enabled – change to True
network.http.pipelining – change to True
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests — change 4 to 8.
network.http.proxy.pipelining – change to True
