Speed Up Firefox Loading Page Time and Startup Time

@ 2005/01/02
"...here are two great tips for Firefox, the free, rock-solid, secure
browser from the Mozilla Foundation. Apply them both to enjoy the time you
save loading Firefox and loading web pages. They really make Firefox
faster..."

I was using Firefox, but recently found quite a few pages that had issues under Firefox, that aren't there with IE. So I went back to IE like a week ago, but:
I'm getting errors like these every few pages in IE. No problems in any other program.
Anyone any ideas or solutions?

well.. IE6 works flawlessly with Google toolbar
here IE works flawlessly without any pop-up stopper. Just SP2 and all the updates.

I never had problems with firefox and I've been using it for months now.

the only thing I get is that some pages don't display correctly but that's because of the poor coding rather then firefox.

I got this from telenet a while ago:



open notepad and copy the following into it:.

user_pref("content.interrupt.parsing", true);
user_pref("content.max.tokenizing.time", 2250000);
user_pref("content.maxtextrun", 8191);
user_pref("content.notify.backoffcount", 5);
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("network.http.pipelining", true);
user_pref("network.http.pipelining.maxrequests", 100);
user_pref("network.http.proxy.pipelining", true);


save as user.txt on the following location:
C:\documents and settings\username\application data\mozilla\firefox\profiles\default

username is the name of the target account, not the word username

rename user.txt to user.js

settings will take effect the next time you start firefox.

Same here, FF isn't as stable as they want to make us believe.
FF keeps crashing using test 2 (on unload) : http://popupcheck.com/freescan/popup...t_advanced.asp

But, that isn't what you can understand under 'normal use'.

nag, nag, nag

Those speedtweaks appear to work quite well, especially the prefetch thingy.

Good find !
