Foxfire Web Browser, Does it start up slower than Explorer ?

Question

I just download the foxfire browser and it seems to take forever to open when I 1st open it and it hangs more when I click on links. Is this normal ? I heard people bragging that it was better than INTERNET EXPLORER so far I have my doubts. Do you guy have problems with it ?

Answer 1

Try this firefox hack, it really does speed up times.

1.Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:

network.http.pipelining network.http.proxy.pipelining network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.

2. Alter the entries as follows:

Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.

3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives.

If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages MUCH faster now!

It is slower and it sucks cause it doesn't support yahoo Music ! if you subscribe, there are 3rd party downloads but I don't trust them they could be hackers
