silvershark44 Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 My firefox is noticably slower compared to internet explorer 7. Any reason why this is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tepster Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I had this trouble too. try this: 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 recieves. mine seems to have picked up a bit since but is still slow to respond at times.

MrRalphMan Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I installed FF2 the other day and it broke loadsa stuff. Ebay will not load any items now. I can look at my selling stuff, but when I click on the item nothing happens. I uninstalled this and went back to FF1.5, but it still doesn't work.. I used to love FF, but now use IE Tabs for Ebay. Seems to be a backward step to have to use IE with in FF. At some point I will blitz the box and reload everything, but not just yet.
