Hi all!

Ive been testing, testing, testing and testing. I wanted the fastest, most secure browser (popup blocker etc) solution.

For me regular IE seems to work fastest. But after some tweaking with FireFox it works faster, so i desided i should share the tweaks to all ppl here at getpaidforum.com.

I guess most ppl know that if you typ "about:config" in the adressbar of firefox you get a list of the more advance configuration (lot more options then in Tools>Option menu).

Anyway there are even more options you can add to make FireFox faster.

Download ChromEdit Extension, or create your own user.js file.

Put this configuration in the user.js file:

user_pref("browser.cache.memory.capacity", 65536);
user_pref("browser.xul.error_pages.enabled", true);
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("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", 4);
user_pref("network.http.pipelining", true);
user_pref("network.http.pipelining.maxrequests", 8);
user_pref("network.http.proxy.pipelining", true);
user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 750);
user_pref("plugin.expose_full_path", true);
user_pref("signed.applets.codebase_principal_support", true);

For max speed include, but not recomanded for security reason.
user_pref("browser.cache.disk_cache_ssl", true);

Restart FireFox and experiance on of the fastest browser there is, if not the fastest.

Would be nice to hear if anyone see some diffrents, after i did this it works much much faster for me.

Happy tweaking....

lol... u just copied and pasted what was in the firefox forums... tongue.gif and some of them are NOT even required and probably not recommended like this: browser.cache.disk_cache_ssl", true
i definitely won't recommend caching yr ssl pages for security reasons... smile.gif

Yeah, lol.... Sorry for sharing some usefull tips ive found on other places... wont happen again....

And yes there are some thats not required, but this is the setting i like for faster browsing. Some webmaster might not be happy about this setting becouse its harder to limit the connections.
