I found this surfing and was wondering if any of you here think it may pose any kind of security issues.I tried it and after restarting Firefox,..it really seemed to make the tabs fly!:D

"Here's something for broadband people that will really speed Firefox up:

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:

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 recieves.

If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages MUCH faster now!"

I used to mess about with that stuff upto FF1.5 but I don't really bother anymore now I'm on FF2.0.Never had any problems so feel no need.The only thing I have changed is the close tabs option,couldn't stand it with a red cross on each tab.:banghead:

I set that one to 100 when i did it awhile back. My Fire Fox and Gran Paradiso works faster.

Benchmark Scores I dont have time for that.
bumped for the ppl looking for it to use on the new RC

another hack in the newest release

change

"network.http.pipelining.ssl"

to true


Also because i ahd read it in the RC1 release of beta 3 (forgot who said it) this is exactly what faster fox does when you install it so no need to worry about firefix not working as an extention if you do this your doing exactly what faster fox did.

There's no need for it. Firefox 3 RC1 is blazing fast without any mods to the config. I cannot believe how quick it is!
