Silver Member Username: Wolfman1966WEST MONROE , LOUISIANA USA Post Number: 399 Registered: Jan-06 | I know this should be in the computer section, and I did put one there, but I thought more people might see it here. I tried the tweak at the link below, and it has definately sped up my browsing. I went from 3200kbps up to 4800kbps. so try it guys. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1299854/posts |

Silver Member Username: Wolfman1966WEST MONROE , LOUISIANA USA Post Number: 403 Registered: Jan-06 | What is 4800kbps comparable to, I think I saw where its actually above a T1 connection. Isn't a T1 connection for like businesses and stuff? | |
Gold Member Username: James1115Ct Post Number: 6460 Registered: Dec-04 | I love fire fox, but I am with Muddy mine is fast enough to not need to F$#K with it. | |
Silver Member Username: Wolfman1966WEST MONROE , LOUISIANA USA Post Number: 405 Registered: Jan-06 | OK, but I am telling you, its made one helluva difference. You don't notice it on webpages that have slow servers, but stuff like Yahoo, Google, MSN.Com, etc. I see a big difference. Its like >click< BAM!, there you are a split second later. | |
Silver Member Username: AdddisorderWest palm, Florida Post Number: 715 Registered: Jan-06 | wow micheal awesome contribution. i just did it and it does make a hella difference. it was fast to begin with but there was about a 2second lag and now litteraly a fraction of a second. trust me guys its worth it |

Silver Member Username: Wolfman1966WEST MONROE , LOUISIANA USA Post Number: 414 Registered: Jan-06 | OH and in case anyone is wondering, I checked with techsupportforums.com and they said it is perfectly safe, and won't hurt anything. They did say however to set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to something more like 12 or 16 to prevent possible server problems, but until I have any problems, I'm keeping it at 30...lol | |
Bronze Member Username: Super_marioPost Number: 98 Registered: Mar-06 | Just did it too...dam. All the pages load really quick now. No more delays. Very Cool. | |
Silver Member Username: Wolfman1966WEST MONROE , LOUISIANA USA Post Number: 415 Registered: Jan-06 | muddy, go to the link , do the tweak....I'm telling you it will help a lot...supposing you have broadband. | |

Silver Member Username: AdddisorderWest palm, Florida Post Number: 721 Registered: Jan-06 | dman fasterfox does make it even faster even with the little hack dude this kicks so much @$$ | |
Silver Member Username: AdddisorderWest palm, Florida Post Number: 722 Registered: Jan-06 | oh and the timer is badd @$$$ and the reason that picutre page will load faster after the fisrt time is because some of it is stored in your cookies | |
Silver Member Username: Wolfman1966WEST MONROE , LOUISIANA USA Post Number: 453 Registered: Jan-06 | HEY david, do you have Firefox and Fasterfox? if not get it, and do the tweak! zooooom!!! | |

Silver Member Username: Wolfman1966WEST MONROE , LOUISIANA USA Post Number: 454 Registered: Jan-06 | he he hell yeah, u gotta do it. DL Firefox, then Fasterfox, then use FasterFox to do the tweak...its great! |
|
Gold Member Username: Basshead86Google is your Friend, FL Post Number: 5200 Registered: Aug-05 | For everybody that has Firefox.... here is the link to DL Fasterfox https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1269/ if yo ugo into the Fasterfox menu and change the pipelining to like 30...you don't have to do the tweak at the top....but in order to tweak it in Fasterfox...you must set the preset to Custom. my aim is DDN*zi, the * = a. |
|
Silver Member Username: DelsolePost Number: 475 Registered: Feb-05 | wow is all i got to say but Dl'ed faster fox and tried settin it all the same way but it already was the same did i do suttin wrong. and when the pages come up i get no pictures how do i change that | |
Gold Member Username: Basshead86Google is your Friend, FL Post Number: 5206 Registered: Aug-05 | no pics??? hmmmm. i am not sure about that....they might be blocked somewhere in Firefox. go to options and check it out...not in faster but in firefox...i amnot sure though. |
|
Silver Member Username: DelsolePost Number: 476 Registered: Feb-05 | never mind i got it | |
Silver Member Username: DelsolePost Number: 477 Registered: Feb-05 | if anyone else has the same problem go to tools then click Optons then go to the tab that sais content and cheeck load images. | |
Silver Member Username: Wolfman1966WEST MONROE , LOUISIANA USA Post Number: 455 Registered: Jan-06 | BUMP, just to move it to the top, and say DAMN ....I bet this was the fastest growing thread ever on here....look how many were posted between noon and 2:30...and hey, if anyone else out there hasn't done it yet, Please DL FireFox, then FasterFox. Even if you don't do the tweak,set FasterFox to "turbo" and it is still damn fast. You won't regret it |
|
Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, OR U.S. Post Number: 3311 Registered: Oct-05 | i dont get how to do this, too many dl's over here i have mozilla firefox, so what do i need to do? first and second |
|
Silver Member Username: Wolfman1966WEST MONROE , LOUISIANA USA Post Number: 458 Registered: Jan-06 | NO, you just need one download ....you have firefox, Download FasterFox and install it. Then close firefox, and when you start FireFox back up, you will see a little fox at the bottom right hand of the screen with some numbers beside it. the numbers are a timer to show how long it took to load the webpage. Anyway, right click on the fox, and open up the options....you can either customize it....or just set it to Turbo...which is what I did. It will really speed up your surfing, and cut down on the time between web pages. | |
Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, OR U.S. Post Number: 3312 Registered: Oct-05 | yea its nice. not insanely faster than firefox, but def faster | |
Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, OR U.S. Post Number: 3313 Registered: Oct-05 | i dont think i did it right or somthin. i got 29s for that pic page from muddy... i went to the bottom baloon and went to turbo also....... whats wrong?? |
|
Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, OR U.S. Post Number: 3314 Registered: Oct-05 | i got like 12.5 on that pic page... any good? | |
Gold Member Username: Basshead86Google is your Friend, FL Post Number: 5260 Registered: Aug-05 | go into fasterfox and click on Custom... then change your pipelining to like 30 or 50!! see if that helps. |
|
Silver Member Username: John_washNashville, Tennessee Post Number: 488 Registered: Dec-05 | Mozilla Faster Fox=DA SH!T...:-) | |
Silver Member Username: AdddisorderWest palm, Florida Post Number: 728 Registered: Jan-06 | yeah if its set on turbo it will be slower then if you put it on custom and do the little hack and stuff. micheal or anyone else that knows. what is the ENHANCED PREFETCHING? it says use it carefully so im trying it out. |
|
Gold Member Username: Basshead86Google is your Friend, FL Post Number: 5268 Registered: Aug-05 | i think it loads all links on the page using idle bandwidth...inclding links that may be spyware and such....so be careful | |
Silver Member Username: AdddisorderWest palm, Florida Post Number: 734 Registered: Jan-06 | oooh turning that off then | |
Silver Member Username: Wolfman1966WEST MONROE , LOUISIANA USA Post Number: 459 Registered: Jan-06 | yeah, prefetching preloads links so probably not a good idea, though it may make things faster. | |
Silver Member Username: TweekerPost Number: 415 Registered: May-06 | so we need fastrerfox in order to do this? cause i did the tweak with firefox and it was already tweaked i just chnaged like 2 thinggs then like 5 min later it said i was doingg an ilegal operation and to restart firefox lol. and it seems kinda slower. but i have dial up lol | |
Silver Member Username: John_washNashville, Tennessee Post Number: 491 Registered: Dec-05 | i dont think it works well with dial up David. Not sure tho. | |
Silver Member Username: Wolfman1966WEST MONROE , LOUISIANA USA Post Number: 460 Registered: Jan-06 | yah, if you read all of the thread, though firefox will work fine as a webbrowser on dial up, FasterFox and the tweak will only help if you have a broadband connection. | |

Gold Member Username: Basshead86Google is your Friend, FL Post Number: 5331 Registered: Aug-05 | the only way you wuold get spyware is from the prefetching...it will load EVERYTHING on the page. that can be bad...especially if oyu are on say ebaums world or something where they can be a lot of spyware. |
