Speed Up Your Internet With FireFox

Posted on September 7th, 2007 by Jason

FireFox when compared to IE has many features which can be turned on and off. Users can play with the tweaks for enhanced user experiences. Here is a short tutorial on how to speed up your internet connection with FireFox. Follow these steps:

1. In FireFox address bar (where you type the website address) type about:config and hit enter.
2. In filter box just below the address type in network.
3. Then scroll down half way untill you see network.http.pipeling. Click on the right column to change the value to True.
4. Now below this row change the value of network.http.pipeling.maxrequests to 10.
5. Then click ok and restart FireFox.

Note:
The Mozilla knowledge base cautions that not all servers support pipelining, and so some websites might not work with this setting activated.

Also, setting the MaxRequests to a value greater than 8 actually results in the variable being set to its maximum value of 8.
