Tips and Tricks
USEFUL TIPS AND TRICKS
Firefox Speed-up Trick [2005.01.19]
Everything you should type is of course things you should type in without the quotes. I just use them to separate what you should type and what not to type.Also, if you are on dialup,it is possible that this will not speed your surfing up a lot. It might help you a bit, but not very much.
This thing helps you utilize more of your bandwidth, it does not create additional bandwidth for you. Also, if the servers you're surfing to are already fast, they will not become much faster.
The second thing this does is eliminate the delay that firefox has in rendering your webpage. Firefox has a built-in delay of approximately one second in which it waits for the webserver to download the page before it starts drawing it out on the screen. This "nglayout" thing you did eliminates that delay and tells firefox to begin drawing the page for you immediatly.

- Surf to "about:config".
- You will see a new place to type named "Filter". Here you should type in "network.http"
- The list of stuff will have shortened significantly. Look for the rows named "network.http.pipelining" and "network.http.proxy.pipelining". Doubleclick on these so that their value changes from "false" to "true".
- In this list, you will also find a row named "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests", doubleclick on this and type in "30" in the popup box and click ok.
- After you have done this, rightclick on some empty space in this list and choose "new -> Integer". In the first box that pops up, type "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and hit ok. You will then be presented with yet another box, in this you type "0" and hit ok.
- Restart firefox.

Fx 2.0 Beta 1 has some glitches. It's crashed multiple times when I try to edit a Japanese Wikipedia article and when I try to change Gmail's spellcheck to German (yay for testing stuff!). So it's not completely stable yet, but the "restore session feature" is awesome.

I don't think I'll ever become a member so I might as well not stay an aspirant member...
My God, what happened here ._. I haven't been on MT for a long time, but it's so empty here .____.
Well if anyone wants to know, I'm currently testing FF 2.0b1. Haven't found anything though ._." Everything works fine for now.
