Firefox Issues

knight_wolf · 03-11-2007

I've noticed that there are some pages that cause Firefox to slow down
incredibly. Typical problems include a major increase in response time
(from a few milliseconds to several seconds). It becomes impossible to
scroll or use the browser with other tabs while these pages are loaded.
Curiously,
these pages cause no problems with IE on the same PC.
Has anyone experienced similar issues? Can it be solved?

Hey KW,

Found this kicking around....

Open Firefox and in the address bar type: about:config
1. Find browser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs and double click on it so it = true
2. Find network.http.pipelining and double click on it so it = true
3. Find network.http.pipelining.maxrequests double click on it and change it from 4 to 100
What do these changes do?
1. Then enables advanced tab options in your Tools/Options page
2. This enables option #3.
3. This makes FF use 8 threads to each page.. Bascially, if you thought FF was fast before, try it after this.
