►speed up page rendering in firefox

This tweak will disable IPv6 in Firefox, because most (if not all) of the web is still using IPv4 standard.

Open Firefox and type in about:config
Find network.dns.disableIPv6

Double click to toggle it to true and then restart Firefox.
You should notice a speed increase, page to page.

good tip 5Abi :k:

Re: ►speed up page rendering in firefox

One more :k:

**first type: **

about:config

then chenge these values, if needed.

network.http.pipelining = true
network.http.proxy.pipelining = true
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests = 4
(YMMV–between 4 and 40. I have noticed bad performance on some pages when pipelining is enabled, especially with >4 maxrequests)
network.http.request.max-start-delay = 0 (makes the page start to render as soon as your browser starts receiving information)

Rightclick, then select New → Integer:
*Name *nglayout.initialpaint.delay, *then set value to *0.

Re: ►speed up page rendering in firefox

had the others but max-start-delay is new..

good ones :k:

Re: ►speed up page rendering in firefox

Re: ►speed up page rendering in firefox

There is one feature I especially like about firefox: CONTROL-T

Re: ►speed up page rendering in firefox

^ Ooooohy i dint kno u cud do that! i like it!

Re: ►speed up page rendering in firefox

hey! I made these changes but it looks like it actually slowed down. I'll reapply one by one and see

OK - when I turned pipelining off (False) everything went back to fast. Is it possible that if you have pipelining on but restrict it to 4, it's sub optimal?

Re: ►speed up page rendering in firefox

Nice :k:

How come the animated smilies don’t move? Do I have to change some settings? Neither in firefox nor in IE.
