Speed fix for Firefox users

[ChaseOK]

If your using Firefox on a broadband connection...this will speed up your browsing significantly.


1.Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:


network.http.pipelining

network.http.proxy.pipelining

network.http.pipelining.maxrequests


Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.


2. Alter the entries as follows: (double click the entry to change)


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


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


Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.


3. Lastly 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 MUCH faster now!

Just open a new tab and apply the changes described. It is easier than you think.

I did, it was pretty easy.

Thanks a million! :thumb::thumb:

I just hope we didn't just re-configure our systems to email all our credit card numbers and passwords to Chase. :)

Very good information! Thanks!

The last two items listed were the only things I had to do, the first two were already done. It does seem to be much faster.

For anybody who is hesitant to try this just on ChaseOK's recommendation (no offense Chase) here is more information on it and it does work.

Perfect! Now, some sites dictate that you use IE (my wife's indian tribal site, for instance). Any speed up fixes for that otherwise useless beast?
