Here is a "free mod" for Mozilla firefox. Looks like to me its speeded mine up pretty quick. This only works for DSL or CABLE ONLY. Click on your web adress and put in about:config, hit enter. Screen will come up with alot of configurations. Scroll down to network.http.pipelining or network.http.proxy.pipelining then set it to true. Do this by right clicking and choosing toggle. Then set network.http.pipelining.maxrequests option to 30. Do this again by right clicking and selecting modify. Before you close Mozilla right click anywhere in the screen and select New|Integer. Then type in nglayout.initialpaint.delay and enter 0 as its numerical value.

Found this mod while sitting bored in Columbus during evacutaion time.

 

sweet thank ya

 

now someone find me the crap to get my damn logitech mouse to middle click in firefox
i've been through about config a million times

I'll go find my speed tips for firefox too... there are a ton.

 

Try this! http://kb.mozillazine.org/Logitech_mouse

 

Thats awesome!

 

Works great! Thanks!

 

I did that almost a year ago but just went and check and it's like it got reset some how... maybe everytime you update firefox it gets reset. I have kind of stopped using firefox because out of no where it will just stop working for me and I have to re-install it...lol Anyways, thanks

 

the f/b work on mine
i think its the mx700 duo or something
but the middle button doesnt allow me to "click" to open in a new tab, or click in the page to scroll/slide up and down...

 

some stuff i pulled outa ls2 and here.. (there will be repeats.... FYI)

1.Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit enter. 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.

Set "browser.turbo.enabled" - to "true"

Set "network.dns.disableIPv6 - to "true"

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.


or Broadband users only. The following should help increase surfing speed of Mozilla Firefox (which is tons better than Internet Explorer). If you don't have FireFox, I recommend you getting it at www.getfirefox.com

:edit: Repost but I have 2 things extra.

If you have Firefox, do this:

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
and browser.turbo.enabled

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.

Set "browser.turbo.enabled" to "true"

3. 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.

4. FOR XP USERS SEEKING FASTER FIREFOX LOADTIMES: Within the Firefox "shortcut" icon properties add /Prefetch:1 (outside the quotation marks) of the 'target. For example: my target is "D:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" /Prefetch:1

If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages MUCH faster now!

From the source:

* Description: maximum number of consecutive requests in one pipeline.
* Type: integer
* Limit: 8
* Default: 4
* Additional Info: nsHTTP.h. Optimal value depends on connection bandwidth/latency.
* Recommendation: 8. While it doesn't hurt to set it to 100 like in other tweak examples, it will have no effect whatsoever because of the mentioned limit.

So setting it to 30 won't do anything. Set it to 8.

Also, not all servers support this feature. So only some sites will speed up.
