Firefox 4 was released recently and you would want to speed up your Browser. This is a trick which will help you in speeding up your Firefox Browser. Using this trick you can increase the responding time of the browser and loading time of the web pages.
First you need to view the configuration of your Firefox Browser. To view it, let this page be open as you will need it, open a new tab and type about:config in the address bar.
In “Filter”, type and find the following lines. Right click on these preference names and click on Modify or Toggle to change the values.
network.http.max-connections-per-server (change its value to 32)
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy (change its value to 16)
network.http.max-connections (change its value to 64)
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server (change its value to 10)
network.http.pipelining (toggle its value and make it true)
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests (change its value to 200)
network.http.request.max-start-delay (change its value to 0)
network.http.proxy.pipelining (Toggle its value and make it true)
network.http.proxy.version (change its value to 1.0)
All the modifications are done now. The last step is to add a new value. To do this, right click anywhere and select New Integer. Name it as nglayout.initialpaint.delay and set its value to 0. This the time the browser takes to respond to the HTTP requests.
I got everything except the last one. When I name it, it just says ok and the pop up stays there. Thanks for this!
Can you see a new preference name created with value “0″?
No, it doesn’t create the new integer, but everything else worked and it did speed up my Firefox! Hooray!
I’m glad that it did speed up your Firefox Browser, the last line is to increase the responding time and I have tried it personally and I could create the Integer! Anyway mission accomplished.. Cheers!
Really, really helpful. Thanks a lot for sharing this. I’ll try this right now.
Do try this and share your experience
It speed up my Firefox, now I’m a happy user because without this trick Firefox 4 isn’t that fast like the other versions. Thanks again.
Nice article ,Lalit but it has nice speed but less than chrome
I don’t prefer Chrome because it doesn’t respond for a long time and causes irritation
but still many people can rely on it.. 
Great tweaks man i will definately give them a try.
Now this seems to be very interesting i will try for sure because Firefox 4 is not looking to be fast as compared to earlier version
I just add these all tweaks and now my Firefox speed increase more then 20%. Great job man. But you can use Firefox Add-on ” Tweak Networks Settings” for edit these settings easily.
Thanks
Thanks for the useful tip Sandeep!
I have tried every possible thing with Firefox but result is the same, the best version was 3.6 and after that even 4 is not good… I would say Chrome is the best , though its just a skin on IE but good with speed and performance…
I also got the first one and it works. Firefox may perform well if the internet connection is faster. You made a great article Lalit as always. Thanks!
I use to have Firefox browser because it is more reliable to use, I think the speed of Firefox browser it is depends upon to your internet connection, how fast it is.
