DenS Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 (edited) Here is my Firefox config values I played with. Tested with my 2.5mbit DSL connection. It should work for DSL/Cable users. Not intended for dial-up users! To start: 1. Open Firefox. 2. Type "about:config" in the adress bar. 3. Find these options, double click each one and change to below values: network.http.max-connections: 48 network.http.max-connections-per-server: 24 network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy: 12 network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server: 6 network.http.pipelining: true network.http.pipelining.maxrequests: 8 network.http.proxy.pipelining: true 4. After changing the values just close Firefox and open it again. 5. All Done. Enjoy the speed! :D Alternative: "Tweak Network Settings" Firefox extension. http://www.bitstorm.org/extensions/ Very handy extension for faster changing above values.

family guy Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 (edited) Anyone know what to change to make it faster for 3mbit cable? I'm a new Firefox user, so I haven't figured everything out yet. I'll at least try this though. Thanks [edit]Works well. Thanks. Still looking for 3 mbit setting though, if anyone has them :) [/edit] Edited November 14, 2004 by family guy Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/243907-faster-browsing-with-firefox/#findComment-584916043 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porsche Design Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 What about 11.0 Mbps, Mega-Bytes per seconds I'm guessing? :D I might change my mind to FireFox because it is not built-in to Windows XP, none of my friends use it, SP2 security is almost the same except i.e has no DL manger.
