Browse Faster with this Firefox Trick

Firefox Tricks

Fast loading web pages while surfing the Internet may have more to do with your web browser settings and preferences than your Internet connection speed. Try these easy tweaks and you'll see that you're surfing the Internet from 3 to 30 times faster!


Things You’ll Need:
  • Firefox Web Browser
Step1
Open your Firefox web browser. In the address/location bar type [about:config]and then press your Enter key. (NOTE: DON'T TYPE THE BRACKETS.)
Step2
In the Filter bar type [network.http.pipelining]. Then, double-click on this line under Preference Name in order to change the value from false to true.
Step3
In the Filter bar type [network.http.pipelining.maxrequests]. Then, double-click on this line under Preference Name and change the value from 4 to a higher number anywhere from 10 to 30. I set mine to 30.
Step4
In the Filter bar type [network.http.proxy.pipelining]. Then, double-click on this line under Preference Name in order to change the value from false to true.
Step5
In the Filter bar type [network.dns.disableIPv6]. Then, double-click on this line under Preference Name in order to change the value from false to true.
Step6
In the Filter bar type [plugin.expose_full_path]. Then, double-click on this line under Preference Name in order to change the value from false to true.

Then in the Enter Integer value box type [5] and click OK.
