Mozilla Optimizer  by Craig D at 21:34

PC
While browsing about, hunting for anything interesting, I stumbled across a few posts on [H]ard|OCP talking about speeding up Firefox, and Mozilla in general.

This post on forever geek shows you how to enable pipelining and increase the default number of simultaneously requested files.

These tweaks are apparantly all part of the free and tiny Mozilla Optimizer 1.6.3.

Works for me, certainly feels faster.

You can do this sorta stuff in Opera but it caused more problems than its worth. Gunna give this a miss I think.

Default is already set to 4 in Firefox, can only assume that uping the value for a broadband connection won't do any harm. Worst that can happen is that you'll choke you net connection a little.

It may well have been an issue with Opera but I ended up setting it to 1 or 2 back when I used Opera as otherwise pages had a habbit of stalling when half loaded or not actually displaying the page at all.

Seems to work nicely.


Why not register and have your say?
