Carol from Carol’s Things let me in on this tweak sheet she found. I ran a few of them, but the best one by far is the Network Hack, like she says.
The network hack opens up your connection to Firefox, permitting it to access information online as quickly as possible. Broadband users are prime candidates for this tweak. If you are using 56k it won’t work though.
Here are the steps:
- With Firefox up and running, type about:config and hit enter.
- Find the entry called “network.http.pipelining†and set it to “trueâ€.
- Find the entry called “network.http.proxy.pipelining†and set it to “trueâ€.
- Find the entry called “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests†and set it to 16-32, but beware, if set too high you may risk banning yourself from various servers by being mistaken for a DoS attack.
- Restart your browser.
