Thanks but I could not find this oneI ran across the following tweaks on another forum and have used them myself.
They made a big difference.
Open Firefox and in the address bar type: about:config this will open hidden options.
underneath the address bar there is another bar that you can start typing in the names, and it will shorten the list accordingly.
so.
Cool thanks it run great now.David, honestly, don't worry about those tweaks, just download FasterFox...it does the same thing, just a lot easier to use.
Firefox's own prefetch function isn't the same as Fasterfox and it works independently of it. Firefox will only prefetch links if code is written in the web page that asks the browser to do it. It's this function that's disabled by setting Firefox's network.prefetch-next to 'false' in about:config.In Firefox, you can disable prefetching by doing the following:
1. Type "about:config" the address bar.
2. Scroll down to the setting "network.prefetch-next" and set the value to "false".
I have FasterFox installed yet the value was set at true.
user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 100);
user_pref("content.notify.ontimer", true);
user_pref("content.notify.interval", 100000);
user_pref("content.notify.backoffcount", 5);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections", 32);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 8);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy", 4);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server", 2);
}
Thanks for that it has greatly increased the speed of firefoxI ran across the following tweaks on another forum and have used them myself.
