Tweaks for Faster Firefox and Youtube

Firefox users and Youtube fans rejoice! Here's a few more tweaks to speed up your Firefox browser for a faster Youtube viewing.

You won't believe altering Firefox configuration settings will actually make it a monster browser in terms of speed.

You ready? Let's start.

Classic

Ha, betcha almost everybody knows how to do these:

• Open Firefox.
• In the address bar, type "about:config" (w/o the quotes).
• The configuration page will appear.
• In the filter bar, type "network.http".
• Double-click the entry and set the following as stated:
• network.http.max-connections ... 32
• network.http.max-connections-per-server ... 20
• network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy ... 20
• network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server ... 8
• network.http.pipelining ... true
• network.http.pipelining.maxrequests ... 8
• network.http.proxy.pipelining ... true

New?

For some, these settings are new:

• In the filter bar, type "delay".
• Double-click the entries with "delay" and set them to zero (0).

• Go back to the filter bar and clear it.
• Now type "timeout".
• Set accessibility to "false".
• All the rest of the entries with "timeout" must be set to zero (0).
  

• Close Firefox.
• The next time you open it, it'll be faster, same with Youtube.
