Speed up Firefox

I have got some kool tips to speed up firefox:

Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return.

Scroll down and look for the following entries:

1.network.http.pipelining

2.network.http.proxy.pipelining

3.network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

Alter the entries as follows: (to edit just double click on it)

1.Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"

2.Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"

3.Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 100.

This means it will make 100 requests at once.

Finally, right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name
it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This
value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts
on information it receives. If you're using a broadband
connection you'll load pages really fast!


Here is another tip to increase your internet connection speed in Win XP:

This tip is designed for increased BROADBAND speed in Windows XP, but it should work for 56k modems too.

Note: This following tip will not work on XP Home Edition.

1.Make sure you're logged on as actually "Administrator". Do not log on with any account that just has administrator privileges.

2.Start > Run > type gpedit.msc (not available in home version).

3.Expand the Local Computer Policy branch.

4.Expand the Administrative Templates branch.

5.Expand the Network branch.

6.Highlight the "QoS Packet Scheduler" in left window.

7.In right window double click the "limit reservable bandwidth" setting.

8.On setting tab check the ENABLED item.

9.Where it says "Bandwidth limit %" change it to read 0 (ZERO).

10.Close gpedit.msc.

11.Effect is immediate on some systems, some need to re-boot.

These two tips worked fine for me and i can see the difference. Lets see what you people have to say about it...
