Re: [FireFox] Tweaking Firefox for Fun & Speed
Thanks.
I made the mistake of uninstalling FasterFox, thinking it would automatically change setting back to default. It doesn't work that way. You have to manually change setting back to default in FasterFox before uninstalling, otherwise you keep your settings.
Anyway, that bad FasterFox setting is correct in my config. |

I played around with that setting and you can set the profile to custom and change fastback to 5 but as soon as you save the changes it reverts back, worse yet unless you patch FasterFox it will use the incorrect value.

Manually tweaking Fx is the way to go. |

Actually you can tweak how firefox behaves too.(hidden menus, icon location, icon design, etc.) |

1 edit | That is true and we had a small thread on that last here Winter but it pales in comparison to the 53 page thread on those types of tweaks at MozillaZine.
Edit* Here is the link for that thread if you are interested. |

Aren't some of these effectively performing a ddos attack on every site you visit? |

1 edit | I believe anything over 225 connections would be loosely construed as a ddos. I only read that on one site.
Anything over 225 would be denied by the server and possibly slow the connection down.
The tweaks are not even close and taken from Mozilla Guide to tweaking Fx and within the parameters of what Firefox is capable of.
Did you look at the link I posted to the Firefox Tweak Site?
Edit*
More on ddos here.

I just figured that more connections = more server load = slower site for the rest of us.

Thanks for the tweak, I have adjusted it a bit to suit my pc a bit better, it seems a bit more responsive to me with the following changes.
user_pref("network.http.request.max-start-delay", 0;
user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 0); |

user_pref("network.http.pipelining.maxrequests", 8);
I read in several places this tweak:
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests = 30
What do you think? |

| Setting it higher then 8 based will do nothing.
»kb.mozillazine.org/Network.http.···requests
This is from the original Fx Tuning Site:
»forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=53650
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
* Description: maximum number of consecutive requests in one pipeline.
* Type: integer
* Limit: 8
* Default: 4
* Additional Info: nsHTTP.h. Optimal value depends on connection bandwidth/latency.
* Recommendation: 8. While it doesn't hurt to set it to 100 like in other tweak examples, it will have no effect whatsoever because of the mentioned limit.
