    Pimp my FireFox

    Tweaks
    1. Type about:config into the address bar and hit enter.
    2. Scroll down and look for the following entries:
    Code:
    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.

    3. Alter the entries as follows:

    Set network.http.pipelining to True

    Set network.http.proxy.pipelining to True

    Set network.http.pipelining.maxrequests to 8.
    This means it will make 8 requests at once. (Any more than 8 is ignored by FireFox)

    4. 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.

    Advanced Tweaks
    If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages much faster now!
    Common to all configurations
    These are the settings that seem to be common to all configuration files regardless of connection speed or computer speed with a couple of additions - plugin paths can be found with aboutlugins and the bookmark menu delay is turned off.
    Code:
    content.notify.backoffcount, 5
plugin.expose_full_path, true
ui.submenuDelay, 0
    Fast Computer Fast Connection
    Code:
    content.interrupt.parsing, true
content.max.tokenizing.time, 2250000
content.notify.interval, 750000
content.notify.ontimer, true
content.switch.threshold, 750000
network.http.max-connections, 48
network.http.max-connections-per-server, 16
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy, 16
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server, 8
browser.cache.memory.capacity, 65536
    A couple settings of note - Firefox is allocated 4096 KB of memory by default and in this configuration we give it roughly 65MB as denoted by the last line. This can be changed according to what is used.

    Fast Computer, Slower Connection
    Code:
    content.max.tokenizing.time, 2250000
content.notify.interval, 750000
content.notify.ontimer, true
content.switch.threshold, 750000
network.http.max-connections, 48
network.http.max-connections-per-server, 16
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy, 16
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server, 8
browser.cache.memory.capacity, 65536
    Fast Computer, Slow Connection
    Code:
    browser.xul.error_pages.enabled, true
content.interrupt.parsing, true
content.max.tokenizing.time, 3000000
content.maxtextrun, 8191
content.notify.interval, 750000
content.notify.ontimer, true
content.switch.threshold, 750000
network.http.max-connections, 32
network.http.max-connections-per-server, 8
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy, 8
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server, 4
browser.cache.memory.capacity, 65536
    Slow Computer, Fast Connection
    Code:
    content.max.tokenizing.time, 3000000
content.notify.backoffcount, 5
content.notify.interval, 1000000
content.notify.ontimer, true
content.switch.threshold, 1000000
content.maxtextrun, 4095
nglayout.initialpaint.delay, 1000
network.http.max-connections, 48
network.http.max-connections-per-server, 16
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy, 16
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server, 8
dom.disable_window_status_change, true
    One of the changes made for this particular configuration is the final line where the status bar is disabled for changing web pages to save processor time.

    Slow Computer, Slow Connection
    Code:
    content.max.tokenizing.time, 2250000
content.notify.interval, 750000
content.notify.ontimer, true
content.switch.threshold, 750000
nglayout.initialpaint.delay, 750
network.http.max-connections, 32
network.http.max-connections-per-server, 8
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy, 8
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server, 4
dom.disable_window_status_change, true
    Minimize Firefox memory usage

    Firefox's memory leakage problems are well documenter. What tends to happen is the longer you browse using Firefox it uses up more and more memory until your PC virtually strips.

    This tip should reduce Firefox's memory usage to fewer than 10MB. It's very simple to implement:

    1. Write about:config in your Firefox address bad and hit enter
    2. Right-click and select New Boolean
    3. Paste config.trim_on_minimize in the field and hit enter again
    4. Select True from the list
    5. Restart Firefox

    Once you've done this, you should notice a speed improvement in your PC while using Firefox.
    Extra/Misc.
    Here's an additional tip for reducing Firefox's enormous RAM overhead.
    Open about:config again and search for browser.cache.disk.capacity, double click and change the default 50000 to 15000 if you have between 512Mb and 1Gb of RAM.
    And, finally - If your Firefox starts up too slow for your liking, then you can download the program Firefox Preloader here.
    This program loads some parts of Firefox into memory before it is used to improve start up speed. Your mileage will vary, but if you've been getting frustrated by a slow Firefox, this will lift its foxy brush and stick a rocket up its ass.
    Restart Firefox and feel the speed!


    Add-Ons
    Some useful Add-Ons that i have found throughout my Internet travels are:
    Add-Ons in Bold are the ones that I think are the most important/useful. (Try them out for yourself!)

    Feel free to post Add-Ons that you have found useful and/or request info about Firefox.

    Enjoy! ^_^

    Re: Pimp my FireFox

    All that the about:config option does is double the number of open ports given to any website, which can lead to some issues, depending on your system.

    I tried that awhile back, caused my system to crash over and over.

    Other than that, good stuff.

    I have some extensions on my firefox, only the necessities.

    That's why I said:

    *depending on your system*

    But, just to be safe, keep records of all of the changes you made, you may have to change them back in the event of system issues.
