Speed Up Your Firefoxs for the Interwebs

Author: The Troll

I don’t usually put this kind of stuff up, but it does actually work. Yeah…it is old, but for some reason not many people know about it. Many, many people do this now to speed up their Firefox browser immensely. It takes seconds to change, and the benefits will last you a lifetime. Also, there are no bad side effects of this. Seriously. Firefox becomes much faster. So if you want to load up 8 tabs at a time like your favorite orovo site, download some stuff, and look at your lol myspace page you can do so in a much quicker fashion. It really works.

Now this is really easy, but I think I will provide a video companion to speed up Firefox as well so that you can actually see it in action.

The simple way to speed up Firefox with about:config is to use these few simple steps.

1) type about:config in your BROWSER ADDRESS bar. (You can actually just click on it here and it will take you there). Be aware that there will be some sort of WARNING window that will come up saying some BS about avoiding your warranty or something. Dar…Firefox is free folks.

2) A long list will come up. type pipelining in the new address bar that pops up above the list to sort it to just what you want.

3) Double-click on the network.http.pipelining line so that it become “True”. Default is “false”.

4) Double-click on the network.http.pipelining.maxrequests line and give it a value. Most people use “30″.

5) Enjoy faster surfing.

For those that want visual direction, this video is very good at explaining the hows and whys of what you are doing here as well as a few other tips:
