make firefox much faster

[aditya_aditya2004]

fire fox trick::
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 2-30 times faster now.

type "about:config" in adress bar were u type "www.google.com" etc and follow the steps mentioned
it works only in firefox

1) It's not a trick
2) I don't care what kind of connection you're on, you will not load pages 30 times faster - ESPECIALLY broadband
3) What's the point of your post?

ohhk i got this thing by googling i thought it s a trick and wanted to share so i posted here..
if its not a trick then pls tell me that what it actually does..?

[Allan]

ANYBODY can google and post. If you don't know what it does you shouldn't post it.

ohhk sir,
 but recently i saw the topic firefox 3.6 and its all the same post which i have given here and i think it should work

changing advanced configuration options on the lick and a promise that they will actually make things "FASTOR" is how people get introduced to such things as "I'm constantly getting page not found plz help!".

They make them ADVANCED options for a reason.

This is no better then the registry tweaks that "add windows Vista/7 features to XP" by adding registry keys that apparently "enable" the new feature that never existed to begin with. I got a good laugh when I saw a "tip" on how to enable DWM with XP. It was as simple as adding a "EnableDWM" somewhere! If only somebody had told Microsoft, they could have saved their time developing the first version for Vista.

how's this fire fox trick (in aditya_aditya2004's post) compare to using speedyfox tool?.

Patio has recommended using speedyfox to speed up firefox in a previous post....

Nope. You can That is what we call, HTTP Caching.
firefox url : "about:cache?device=disk "       eviles you good idea. And Full details over -->  http://code.google.com/speed/page-speed/docs/caching.html

1.All browsers since pretty much Mosaic had support for Caching.
2. Firefox caches pages rather extensively, both in memory and on disk. The former is why many people have memory consumption issues with it.
3. This thread is two years old.

4. Firefox 15 is out, and apparently has a fix for memory leaks caused by add-ons.
