Increasing Firefox browsing speed.


                 Mozilla Firefox is used globally by billions of users for surfing the net. Firefox rolls out many features and the main feature expected by all the user is to increase the net speed and surf faster through web. This post is about how to increase the speed in Firefox.

                  The post deals with how to increase the surfing speed in the #Firefox browser but please know that changing the configuration file may void your device warranty. If you want to stay at safer side please do not proceed.

                   The technique that is used is Pipelining. Pipelining plays a major role in computer architecture that is used to compute the data and produce the result at higher rates.

                   To change the configuration file in the Firefox do the following at your own risk

Type about:config in the address bar and it will take you to the configuration setting page of browser.

Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"
       "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"
       "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some values such as "10"

 Lastly, right-click anywhere and select New->Integer. Name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set its value to “0“;.(Zero).

                       The change of setting will make the browser to execute the pipelining and make the browser to accept the requests faster than existing speed. The addition of the new integer will make the broadband user to surf with much increased speed.
