Whipping your Firefox into Shape
By: Matthias

The first obvious thing to do is get the Mozilla Firefox browser if you don't already have it. It's definitely much better than Internet Explorer! Internet Explorer has more security risks and is slower than Firefox! Don't know what Firefox is? Then read this:

Download the latest Firefox at: www.firefox.com

Now that Firefox is running, how about let's download an add-on that disables many ads and pop-ups. Sure Firefox already has a built-in pop-up blocker, but that's nothing compared to this add-on. What is this add-on I speak of? It's Adblock Plus! Download it by visiting its page by clicking here! Then click 'Install now.' A pop-up called 'Software Installation' should appear. Wait for the 'Install Now' button to become active and click it. The 'Add-ons' window should appear and it will install Adblock Plus. Once the installation is complete, close the 'Add-ons' window, and let's continue and download another handy add-on.

Next let's download Fasterfox. Download by visiting its page by clicking here! Then click 'Install now.' A pop-up called 'Software Installation' should appear. Wait for the 'Install Now' button to become active and click it. The 'Add-ons' window should appear and it will install Fasterfox. Once the installation is complete, again close the 'Add-ons' window.

Now the 'Welcome to Adblock Plus' window should pop-up. In this window, there's pre-made ad/pop-up filter lists for you. I suggest just ticking the EasyList (USA) filter list and clicking on 'Subscribe.' Now many ads and pop-ups will be blocked! With Fasterfox you should be running faster and there should be a timer at the bottom-right corner of the browser. Even though we've downloaded all we needed, we're still not done yet! There's one more thing to do and it's going to be a bit more complicated than just downloading add-ons, but you should be able to handle it!

Type Ã¢â‚¬Å“about:configÃ¢â‚¬Â into the address bar and hit the enter key. In the filter search, input "network.http.pipelining" and hit the enter key. You'll see that the list will come up with 3 entries.
Code: [Select]
network.http.pipelining network.http.pipelining.fullrequest network.http.pipelining.maxrequestsDouble-click 'network.http.pipelining' to set its value to 'true.'
Next, in the filter search input "network.http.proxy.pipelining" and hit the enter key. You'll see the list will come up with 1 entry.
Code: [Select]
network.http.proxy.pipeliningDouble-click 'network.http.proxy.pipelining' to set its value to 'true.'
Next, in the filter search input "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" and hit the enter key. You'll see the list will come up with 1 entry.
Code: [Select]
network.http.pipelining.maxrequestsDouble-click 'network.http.pipelining.maxrequests' and set the value to 25-50 and hit 'OK.' I just suggest setting it to 30. Do not set the value too high or it could crash your Firefox.

Finally, right-click anywhere in the window and select 'New > Integer.' Name it Ã¢â‚¬Å“nglayout.initialpaint.delayÃ¢â‚¬Â and set its value to Ã¢â‚¬Å“0Ã¢â‚¬Â. This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives.

Once you're all done with that, close Firefox and reopen it. Now it should be much faster! Enjoy your faster internet experience!

Also, are you tired of the default Firefox skin? Want to make your Firefox look different with a different theme? Then you can download new themes by searching through lists here!

Nevermind I guess they are similar. But this one has the extentions. But whatever. It's a good tut either way.
