Speed Up FireFox! This Makes FireFox Faster

Posted June 1st, 2008, in: Technology

I learned this from the Tekzilla Daily show (from Veronica Belmont who is way hot).

  1. type about:config into your firefox url address field.
  2. Right-click (or control-click if you’re on a mac) on the blank space
  3. Select “New” and from the sub-menu,  ”Integer“
  4. Name it nglayout.initialpaint.delay
  5. Set the value to 0 (zero)

This will make Firefox load webpages more like Safari does.  You will see the page instantly and slower-loading parts of the page will come up later.

 

OMG

 

Thank you Tekzilla!

Thank you Andrew. My initial experience was *not* improved however – in fact, it felt like things slowed down (bogged down). I’m going to leave it in place for a while to see how it travels (it just might be a slow Net day.
