Well, continuing from
BitFox,
FireFox-Ko(the post ends with a link to FireFox wallpapers & stuff!) posts earlier, this is a new installment. Well, these r a few known & unknown(till u finish readin this post, of course) tips to enhance ur already redefined web-experience.
Mozilla Firefox is a fast, full-featured web browser that makes browsing more efficient than ever before.
Firefox includes pop-up blocking, a tab-browsing, integrated Google searching, simplified privacy controls that let you cover your tracks more effectively, a streamlined browser window that shows you more of the page than any other browser and a number of additional features that work with you to help you get the most out of your time online. Version 2 features an updated theme and user interface, built-in phishing protection, enhanced search capabilities, improved tabbed browsing, and inline spell checking. blah...blah...blah...blah...
Some of the tips here... we already came accross in this forum itself. Well, some r new.
What's common...
1. Open
Firefox.
2. Type
about:config in the address bar and press
Enter.
HTTP PIPELINING
HTTP is the application-layer protocol that most web pages are transferred with. In
HTTP 1.1, multiple requests can be sent before any responses are received. This is known as
pipelining. Pipelining reduces page loading times, but not all servers support it.
In the filter bar type
network.http.pipelining. Make sure under the value field is says
true. If not double-click to set it.
Return to the filter bar and type
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests. Double-click this option and set its value to 8.
HTTP PROXY
Go to the filter bar and type
network.http.proxy.pipelining. Once it opens double-click it to set it to
true.
DNS
IPv6 was designed in part to solve the problem
IPv4 will soon be facing: the exhaustion of all possible IP addresses.
Mozilla implemented
IPv6 support in early 2000, but that support did not receive widespread testing until recently as IPv6-capable OSs and network software/equipment became more common.
One particular bug that has appeared exists not in Mozilla, but in IPv6-capable DNS servers: an IPv4 address may be returned when an IPv6 address is requested. It is possible for Mozilla to recover from this misinformation, but a significant delay is introduced.
Type
network.dns.disableIPv6 in the filter bar and set this option to
true by double clicking on it.
NGLAYOUT INITIALPAINT DELAY
Mozilla applications render web pages incrementally - they display what's been received of a page before the entire page has been downloaded. Since the start of a web page normally doesn't have much useful information to display, Mozilla applications will wait a short interval before first rendering a page. This preference controls that interval. Right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) anywhere in the
about:config window and select
New and then
Integer from the pop-up menu.
Enter
nglayout.initialpaint.delay in the New integer value pop-up window and click
OK.
You will be prompted to enter a value. Enter
0 and click
OK.
Ya.ya.. I know all these... blah...blah... well.. some of the newer tricks...
BROWSER CACHE MEMORY CAPACITY
When a page is loaded, it can be cached so it doesn't need to be rerendered to be redisplayed. This preference controls the maximum amount of memory to use for caching decoded images and chrome (application user interface elements). Right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) anywhere in the
about:config window and select
New and then
Integer from the pop-up menu.
Enter
browser.cache.memory.capacity in the New integer value pop-up window and click
OK.
You will be prompted to enter a value. Enter
65536 and click
OK.
UI SUBMENU DELAY
This preference controls the time a menu takes to open a sub-menu. Right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) anywhere in the
about:config window and select
New and then
Integer from the pop-up menu.
Enter
ui.submenuDelay in the New integer value pop-up window and click
OK.
You will be prompted to enter a value. Enter
0 and click
OK.
PLUGIN EXPOSE FULL PATH
This preference shows full path to plugins in
about:plugins. Right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) anywhere in the
about:config window and select
New and then
Boolean from the pop-up menu.
Enter
plugin.expose_full_path in the New boolean value pop-up window and click
OK.
You will be prompted to choose the value for the new boolean. Select
true and click
OK.
CONTENT INTERRUPT PARSING
This preference controls whether the application will interrupt parsing a page to respond to UI events. It does not exist by default.
Right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) anywhere in the
about:config window and select
New and then
Boolean from the pop-up menu.
Enter
content.interrupt.parsing in the New boolean value pop-up window and click
OK.
You will be prompted to choose the value for the new boolean. Select
true and click
OK.
CONTENT MAX TOKENIZING TIME
Rather than wait until a page has completely downloaded to display it to the user, Mozilla applications will periodically render what has been received to that point. This preference controls the maximum amount of time the application will be unresponsive while rendering pages.
Right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) anywhere in the
about:config window and select
New and then
Integer from the pop-up menu.
Enter
content.max.tokenizing.time in the New integer value pop-up window and click
OK.
You will be prompted to enter a value. Enter
2250000 and click
OK.
CONTENT NOTIFY INTERVAL
This preference specifies the minimum amount of time to wait between reflows. Right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) anywhere in the
about:config window and select
New and then
Integer from the pop-up menu.
Enter
content.notify.interval in the New integer value pop-up window and click
OK.
You will be prompted to enter a value. Enter
750000 and click
OK.
CONTENT NOTIFY ONTIMER
This preference specifies whether to reflow pages at an interval any higher than that specified by
content.notify.interval. Right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) anywhere in the
about:config window and select
New and then
Boolean from the pop-up menu.
Enter
content.notify.ontimer in the New boolean value pop-up window and click
OK.
You will be prompted to choose the value for the new boolean. Select
true and click
OK.
CONTENT NOTIFY BACKOFFCOUNT
This preference controls the maximum number of times the content will do timer-based reflows. After this number has been reached, the page will only reflow once it is finished downloading. Right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) anywhere in the
about:config window and select
New and then
Integer from the pop-up menu.
Enter
content.notify.backoffcount in the New integer value pop-up window and click
OK.
You will be prompted to enter a value. Enter
5 and click
OK.
CONTENT SWITCH THRESHOLD
The user can interact with a loading page when
content.interrupt.parsing is set to true. When a page is loading, the application has two modes: a high frequency interrupt mode and a low frequency interrupt mode. The high frequency interrupt mode interrupts the parser more frequently to allow for greater UI responsiveness during page load. The low frequency interrupt mode interrupts the parser less frequently to allow for quicker page load. The application enters high frequency interrupt mode when the user moves the mouse or types on the keyboard and switches back to low frequency mode when the user has had no activity for a certain amount of time. This preference controls that amount of time. Right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) anywhere in the
about:config window and select
New and then
Integer from the pop-up menu.
Enter
content.switch.threshold in the New integer value pop-up window and click
OK.
You will be prompted to enter a value. Enter
750000 and click
OK.
