Speed Up Firefox Tutorial

[Vivi]

wtf?
#1. i meant say extension rather than plug-in, just wanted to point that out
#2. why would i create a topic just for this?

To keep spam from this one, But turns out you already caused some so to late now. Just carry-on with it in this one I suppose. . Just my thoughts on this matter.

Valholy, it all depends on your connection stranght/speed. But normally 8 is more than enough.
The nglayout pain delay has no real effect if your computer speed is slow, since the only thing it does is start drawing the webpage earlier once page download starts. If your computer is slow, it will likely rush it for nothing.

Well,i have a 256 kbps speed pentium 4 2.40 ghz,256 ram,120 gb hd........ i think that my internet conection is the only important thing here right ?

Wow, thanks Kazuya. Now if I only had a broadband connection

[Valholy]

Polo was right now my browser is too fast thanks Polo,i could give you rep but i have to spread more

Oh yes, you forgot add the "/prefetch:1" parameter for WinXP users, it greatly decreases the time the browser takes to load. Right click the shortcut you have on your desktop/quicklaunch toolbar/startmenu, and add "/prefetch:1 to the filepath. Example:

"\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" /prefetch:1

That helps a lot. Kudos to someone on EP who gave me this tip ages ago...

are you sure it is
"\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" /prefetch:1? i thought it could be
"\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"\ prefetch:1

edit-none of those worked it says thats a invalid destination

It's /prefetch:1. Did you forget to type the drive that the folder is in, like C: ? I didn't add that in my previous post because that damn smiley showed up.

C: \Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" /prefetch:1

Exactly as above, without the space between C: \ . Obviously change "C:" to it's equivalent on your comp, as well as your Program Files folder, depending on your OS' language and where you installed Firefox. For me, it would be C: \Archivos de Programa\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" /prefetch:1

Oh, and thanks for the rep.

yeah i now,im not that noobish though , yeah i writed since the begining the "C: \Archivos de programa\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"/prefetch:1 and it didnt work, also i tried like this "C: \Archivos de programa\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"\prefecth:1 didnt work, yet another try was like this
"C: \Archivos de programa\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe/prefetch:1" and "C: \Archivos de programa\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe\pefetch:1",none worked well i gues that i dont have much luck these days anyway rep to you friend

Dude, I think I see what you did wrong:

"C: \Archivos de programa\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"\prefecth:1

It's actually: "C: \Archivos de programa\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" \prefecth:1

you missed the space after the " and \prefetch:1 , or you might've spelled prefetch wrong like I did at first. Hope this helps.

[Valholy]

Yep i figured that out,just by checking your other thread ,thanks for all the help

[Panda Man]

It would be nice of you to make a new thread about this , Thanks.

I REMEMBER!!!!! it was session saver, that's the world's best plugin for firefox... period...

it restores your browser after you close it to EXACTLY how you left it... just thought i would let every1 know

[jhawkjrod]

another thing someone showed me was in about:config set browser.turbo.enabled to true. it is set to false by default
