    Default Tweak your Firefox for Utmost Performance!

    I'm totally new at this... can you tell where I can put those codes?

    As of now, IE works better and faster for me (although I have problems with the status bar). I have a problem viewing some javascripts in Firefox.

    BTW, you can also use the Tweak Network Settings extension to achieve the same effect.

    Viewing Javascript? What do you mean? You mean getting them to work? If so, you may be using JS code/elements that's specific to IE. FF's Javascript Console is a godsend, makes it a hell ofalot easier to locate the errors you get.

    well, i would like to emphasize that this works with dial-up users as well. you can see the variations in the settings so dial-up users can still tweak their firefox settings

    allright, for everyone's sake, im posting the settings here plus additional infos about them.

    Where do we find the JS file?

    WinXP

    C:\Documents and Settings\xxxx\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default\pre fs.js
    Win98SE

    C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default\pre fs.js
    Note: Please be aware that if Firefox is running when you're applying the settings, Firefox will overwrite the ones that you created back to default. In other words, stop all firefox applications when applying the tweak.
    Here are the settings:
    (These varies as to the speed of your computer and your connection speed. This is already done for most computers since tweaking it yourself, is a bit HARD.

    Quick and Dirty Settings

    user_pref("network.http.pipelining", true);
    user_pref("network.http.pipelining.firstrequest", true);
    user_pref("network.http.pipelining.maxrequests", 8);
    user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 0);

    Common to all configurations
    (These are the settings that seem to be common to all configuration files regardless of connection speed or computer speed with a couple of additions - plugin paths can be found with about:plugins and the bookmark menu delay is turned off.)

    user_pref("network.http.pipelining", true);
    user_pref("network.http.proxy.pipelining", true);
    user_pref("network.http.pipelining.maxrequests", 8);

    I think the connection you get from your ISP is fix and can be variable only thru specific bursting speed. Yes Tweaks will work to have your firefox work as fast as you want but connection. NO WAY!!!!!!!! Only the Firefox itself is fast but if you have slow connection, tweak still dont function as what you expected.

    Default Tweak your Firefox for Utmost Performance!

    i hope you are aware that firefox's configuration upon installation is directed to a general audience. some of features are hidden and or disabled. this tweak exploits these configurations for a better purpose. i think you should look at the bright side and try this one out, you aint gonna lose nothing do you?

    to prove the difference when applying these tweaks, surf to http://www.inq7.net

    try it without the tweak first, afterwards, apply the tweaks and see the difference. if you aint intersted with firefox, go stick with your INTERNET EXPLORER

    i see your point about the consistency of the connection i get from my host BUT this tweaks are referring to how FIREFOX handle the connections i get. (please read paragraph 1) dont be so RUDE by disagreeing right away without trying it first. how bout reading the source code and find out why...
