Vista - Firefox Speed Increase

somehow I doubt this works. However, Someone should check whether it does. Does someone already have any experience with having changed these settings? can any benchmarks be done to show any actual increase in performance?

I do assume that you mean value where you've said valor.

Well, the requests will be one billion, it doesn`t entirely mean that it will be one billion FASTER, but on my computer, when the page comes, (3 - 4) Seconds, it comes with everything loaded. And that is good, because i`m Brazillian , and we have poor networks here, like 2 MB , or 8 MB. =)

( No, i really meant Valor).


You can try that out..
As i already said, if you Right Click it you can set it as default again.
And if you`re afraid it wont start again, you just:
Start>Run> firefox.exe -safemode-

some combination like that on the - .

As I have a 50 mbit synchronous fibre line, I doubt I will see any improvements, if this works at all.
But let me ask you though. Aren't the changes you are talking about included in the readily available firefox plugin "FasterFox"??? For a lot of people it is far easier to impliment the plugin than these changes.

In any case, You may mean Valor, but I do not think that's the correct translation. I might very well be wrong. In my own firefox, which is the Dutch version, it says "waarde". The translation for that, however, is value.

I have tried the changes you propose, and with my internet connection, I do not see any changes. However, maybe on slower internet connections there might be a difference.

I would like to point people to the warning though. Setting it to a high number (like 1 billion) will probably get site administrators angry with you, which will result in IP bans. Meaning that you might never be able to get on that site again. Just be careful with setting that number too high.

I said on the topic, what you said on your warning
And on my firefox, it is valor xD they must have been wrong translated.

There would be no difference on your network, but in mine it would.

The thing is, with those High Values, the page comes with everything already downloaded, and that is the good thing for me. ( So i have to wait only 4 seconds, and i have everything ).

Thanks AlexRD I set the Network.Http.Pipelining.Maxrequests 150 and thought that was ok then I set it to 200 and the webpages load even better.

I also found that since I don't us IPv6, and from what I've noticed, a lot of others don't either.

network.dns.disableIPv6 Is False. Setting it to True may increase speed as well. Even if nothing more than knocking off it trying to go through 6 before it tries 4.

I'm not sure, but it's a suggestion. Would it help at all?

Hi, Nice one well done.

I've done every step from this tutorial and after I reopen Firefox the settings are back to default ! can anyone point to me why this happens, how to keep those settings after browser restart ?

I read a tutorial on this subject on a different site and I remember it stating that increasing the value of 'Network.Http.Pipelining.Maxrequests' to anything higher than 8 won't make a difference as Firefox can only hand 8 requests or whatever they are.

I've been trying to find this article for the past 10 minutes but I remember it was something like 'The Truth about ...'.

Anyway, I might be wrong, but great article.
