Speeding up Firefox the right way

Speeding up Firefox the right way

Speeding up Firefox seems to be a meme going around the blogsphere lately. Most of the tips I’ve seen, though, are only for broadband connections with the latest hardware and only include some of the settings that would affect performance.

The Firefox Tweak Guide has the full details on how to speed up Firefox regardless of your connection or hardware, reprinted in part below. Don’t forget that the easiest way to tweak user files is with chromEdit extension.

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 about:plugins and the bookmark menu delay is turned off.

user_pref("network.http.pipelining", true);
user_pref("network.http.proxy.pipelining", true);
user_pref("network.http.pipelining.maxrequests", 8);
user_pref("content.notify.backoffcount", 5);
user_pref("plugin.expose_full_path", true);
user_pref("ui.submenuDelay", 0);

Fast Computer Fast Connection

user_pref("content.interrupt.parsing", true);
user_pref("content.max.tokenizing.time", 2250000);
user_pref("content.notify.interval", 750000);
user_pref("content.notify.ontimer", true);
user_pref("content.switch.threshold", 750000);
user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 0);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections", 48);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 16);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy", 16);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server", 8);
user_pref("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

This configuration is more suited to people without ultra fast connections. We are not talking about dial up connections but slower DSL / Cable connections.

user_pref("content.max.tokenizing.time", 2250000);
user_pref("content.notify.interval", 750000);
user_pref("content.notify.ontimer", true);
user_pref("content.switch.threshold", 750000);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections", 48);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 16);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy", 16);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server", 8);
user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 0);
user_pref("browser.cache.memory.capacity", 65536);

Fast Computer, Slow Connection

user_pref("browser.xul.error_pages.enabled", true);
user_pref("content.interrupt.parsing", true);
user_pref("content.max.tokenizing.time", 3000000);
user_pref("content.maxtextrun", 8191);
user_pref("content.notify.interval", 750000);
user_pref("content.notify.ontimer", true);
user_pref("content.switch.threshold", 750000);
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", 8);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server", 4);
user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 0);
user_pref("browser.cache.memory.capacity", 65536);

Slow Computer, Fast Connection

user_pref("content.max.tokenizing.time", 3000000);
user_pref("content.notify.backoffcount", 5);
user_pref("content.notify.interval", 1000000);
user_pref("content.notify.ontimer", true);
user_pref("content.switch.threshold", 1000000);
user_pref("content.maxtextrun", 4095);
user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 1000);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections", 48);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 16);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy", 16);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server", 8);
user_pref("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

We have entered the doldrums of the dial-up user

user_pref("content.max.tokenizing.time", 2250000);
user_pref("content.notify.interval", 750000);
user_pref("content.notify.ontimer", true);
user_pref("content.switch.threshold", 750000);
user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 750);
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", 8);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server", 4);
user_pref("dom.disable_window_status_change", true);

AntiBodi Regedit

Dari forum sebelah, trik buat ngakalin virus2 ato program2 yg sering ngeblokir regedit, task manager, ato virus yg biasanya suka ngubah ekstensi .exe,.com,dsb biar pas dijalanin file dg ekstensi tsb taunya malah ngeeksekusi virus.
antibodi kali ini ketika dirun ad pilihan, yg pertama looping yg kedua cuma sekali suntik..
klo looping, mk antibodi ini terus2an (balapan, mungkin jauh lebih cpt dari timer virus buat ngeblokir registry) mulihin beberapa key penting diregistry.
yg penting tujuannya kita tetep bisa buka task manager sama regedit...
ok...ini dia kodenya tinggal kopi paste ke notepad trus save jadi antibodi.vbs, lalu dobel klik..
[ yg ini udah bisa buka folder options, tp biasanya windows butuh restart explorer.exe dulu biar settingan yg ini ngefek ]
selamat menikmati :

-- Perubahan Yang Signifikan Terjadi Pada koneksi Internet Dengan BROADBAND / VSAT
----------------------------------------
Tambahan:
Klik 2x di settingan dan masukin angka-angka ini - untuk true / false booleans – mereka bakal ganti otomatis begitu klik 2x
Code:
browser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs – true
network.http.max-connections – 64
network.http.max-connections-per-server – 20
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy – 10
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server – 4
network.http.pipelining – true
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests – 100
network.http.proxy.pipelining – true
network.http.request.timeout – 300
network.http.request.max-start-delay = 0
nglayout.initialpaint.delay = 0
If nglayout.initialpaint.delay doesnt exist, Right click, new integer.


Optional:

Code:
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy = 10
network.http.proxy.pipelining = true
network.http.proxy.version = 1.0


Tutup mozilla trus jalanin lagi.
Sekarang Mozilla km mengGILAAAAAAAAAA!!!.

WARNING:
Settingan ini bikin km ngedonlot situs dengan amat KESURUPAN, BUT bikin Overload luar biasa ke situs yang km tuju!
Ga bermaksud apa-apa selain kompi lain yang dapat share internet bakal lemod ABEZZZ gara-gara km sedot banwidtnya!

Next tip:
Disable IPv6 di Firefox buat bikin sejuk kecepatan load page km!!........ soalnya hamper semua site dah ga make IPv4...........

Buka Firefox.........ketik “about:config” (enter)
cari :Network.dns.disableIPv6

Klik 2x buat ngerubah jadi 'true' trus restart Firefox.
Lo bakal mempercepat akses browsing.........page per page.
Sekarang Firefox bener-bener dah GILAAAAAAAA buat km!...
nglayout.initialpaint.delay bisa dirubah yg mana aja...bisa 0 bisa 300 ada juga yg set 30...tergantung kebutuhan.....coba 0 dulu...baru nanti klo ga ada perubahan naikan ke 300 atau nilai yg dirasa memuaskan


100% tested n berhasil!!!!
Gw praktekin di warnet truss hasilnya....
download dg kecepatan 80 kbps.....RUUAARRRBIAASAAA

For ADSL:
Code:
1. Type: about:config
2. Set:
network.http.max-connections : 64
network.http.max-connections-per-server : 21
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server : 8
network.http.pipelining : true
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests : 100
network.http.proxy.pipelining : true


3. 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 recieves. (Copy from TvM)[/code]
