Firefox Browser

I switched to use firefox browser sometime ago because:

  1. I'm tired of using I.E.. I wanna try something new.
  2. Firefox's tab browsing is really a cool feature. I'm tired of switching among many I.E. windows.
  3. Firefox's DOM inspector is really good for developers. It will always reveal the source of the page.
Here are some tweaks to make firefox faster:

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 receives.
