Firefox....

Anyone else having problems with the new Firefox (not CA related). It seems to be running slower. Just don't like it as much as I did before I did the update. I may go back to using Safari

Re: Firefox....

Nope. The newest version I find to be much faster than the last.

Re: Firefox....

Here's a fix that makes FF about 30 times faster:

Quote:

1. Type "about : config" (without the spaces) into the address bar and hit return. Scroll
down and look for the following entries:

network.http.pipelining
network.http.proxy.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time.
When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really
speeds up page loading.

2. Alter the entries as follows:

Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests " to some number like 30. This
means it will make 30 requests at once.

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.

Yeah; I saw that originally on another board and was skeptical - until I did it. Then I was a believer.

Re: Firefox....

I switched to Chrome when it first came out and haven't looked back. I even went so far as to uninstall FF last week. Chrome is SO much faster for me, although I wish I'd known about Joe's fix before I uninstalled to see if it bumped performance for me.

thanks for that! good stuff. I love FF, haven't had any problems with it, ever. Now IE on the other hand, TONS of problems.

Actually, wait, no, the only problem I've found is that some plugin ( i think flash) wont install properly.

It makes it usable for me... I have to run it on a portable stick (due to work restrictions) and I had been hating the upgrade.

I heart adblock plus, and my parents are too stubborn to use firefox so I put dd-wrt on my router and had it block the ads.

We need to get Haastility over here from the "other board" so he can make us a Firefox menu!

Re: Firefox....

I'm a dope. I went to implement this improvement and found that I had already done it!

Now that I am think about it I think I saw this tip on a video podcast I watch, Tekzilla. A very informative show.
