Firefox Tweaks

MadGamer · 01-02-2005

For those of you that use Firefox, i reccomend doing this:

Open Firefox.
Type "about:config" in the adress bar (no quotation marks).
Find these options, double click each one and change to below values:

network.http.max-connections: 48

network.http.max-connections-per-server: 24

network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy: 12

network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server: 6

network.http.pipelining: true

network.http.pipelining.maxrequests: 32

network.http.proxy.pipelining: true

I also recommend you download this programme:
http://www.emilsoft.net/downloads/

Flexbeta firetweaker is the first download on the page and is avaliable in:

English
German
Dutch

I found a FireFox tweak guide for the more advanced users (beginning users of FireFox sholud learn more about the browser before they start using tweaks) :-):
