Firefox Tweak!

Post by helium » May 24th, 2008, 6:21 pm

Howdy =D

This is only for people who use FireFox and want to browse the internet faster, I just tried it, and it works great.
And also, Firefox tend to take up a lot of cpu usage, we will change that too :wink:

First ;
Make a new tab, and write about:config in the browser menu.
You will see a lot of different lines etc, but you just need to right click wherever you want, and select "new - Integer"
Then you write browser.cache.memory.capacity, click ok. and then write 16384. (its 16mb).

Ok, so now firefox wont take up so much CPU usage.

Lets make it browse faster shall we?

Again, make a new tab and write about:config in the browser menu.
Search for network.http.pipelining, change it to true. (just click it twice)
Search for network.http.proxy.pipelining , and change it to true as well.
Search for network.http.pipelining.maxrequests , and change the value to 8, (higher numbers wont have any affect)
Then right click wherever you want, select "new - Integer"
name it nglayout.initialpaint.delay , and click ok. The value should be 0.

Now you're done.
Just restart FireFox and feel the difference :D
Ow if it doesn't change right away, you might have to restart the comp :D

I found this on a Swedish firefox FAQ btw.

well also I don't see how firefox is so much better than IE that I need to use it.. I don't have any problems with IE that makes me want to conform to firefox.

Funny you said that, I am having a poll over at codfiles.com about it. And as the results show, not everyone uses firefox.

1. Faster
2. Addons and Extensions
3. Custom Themes
4. Safer
5. Better pop up blocking
6. Better download capabilities
7. Not made by Microsoft
8. Lighter weight software
9. Websites are beginning to make their code more compatible with Firefox than IE
10. Constant free updates that prevent security risks

Plus, if you don't want to conform you should go with Firefox. If you use IE you're conforming with Microsoft, and that is just sad.

+ Video codecs are better (which means that when you watch videos on stream the quality is better.)

Be honest. There has to be points where IE is better ? What feature IE has would you like to be used in Firefox ?

Totally honestly, none. Every time I open IE (which is almost never) every feature it has seems so badly put together and slow compared to Firefox. There may be some minute details where IE is better, but I have never come across them.

I must agree with KS.

Btw: I hated Mozilla alot, and always backed up IE when someone said anything about it, but I accidently opened a link with Mozilla once, and ever since, I have loved it so much.
