So, you love using Firefox and feel that it is the fastest browser a person could possibly need? Personally, I think it is fast, but the fastest? That remains to be seen. Still, I found mention of a cool tweak at The Inquirer that might help to put the browser into overdrive so you can get things moving at a speed that even you will find satisfactory!
ASK ANY OF FIREFOX’S avid supporters and they’ll tell you it’s the fastest browser around, true or not. Well, the INQ’s stumbled on a little tweak that’s easy to do and sends the browser into overdrive.
All you’ve got to do is type “about:config” into your address bar, wait for it to load, then alter the following entries: change “network.http.pipelining” to “true”, “network.http.proxy.pipelining” to “true” and lastly “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to 30, meaning it will be able to make 30 requests at once.
Don’t bother if you’re one of the unlucky sods still without broadband, but if you are, then give it a shot. I’ve tried it out and it works like a charm. Thanks to forevergeek.com!
