Hi Guys.

There's a program for the Windows-Version of Firefox that tweaks some options of Firefox and supposendly makes it way faster.

Well, here's the stuff that this tool actually changes:

Add this to your user.js...

user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 100);
user_pref("content.notify.ontimer", true);
user_pref("content.notify.interval", 100000);
user_pref("content.notify.backoffcount", 5);
user_pref("network.http.pipelining", true);
user_pref("network.http.proxy.pipelining", true);
user_pref("network.http.pipelining.maxrequests", 8);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections", 32);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 8);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy", 4);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server", 2);
user_pref("intl.accept_languages", "de, en, en-us");


I'd be glad if you could report any changes in loading-speed, not sure if it works for the Mac OS X version as well.


//edit: yeah, firefox. sorry, i'm still a bot "old-school", havent used firefox for a while.

Firefox.

The first one is fine, it's a good idea, some people take it down way too much. not sure about the next three. The last one is probably pointless unless you speak german. Changing the max connections per server is kinda mean to websites, but it will give a speed boost, I did it but you might not be as evil.

There's also the xul error pages (filter "error", set to true), and one that stops memory compression when minimized in Windows that I can't seem to find.
