How to Speed Up Firefox 3

I’ve bad experience with firefox 3 which automatically installed on Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex and as quick corrective action due to urgency needed, I return back to Ubuntu 8.04. But the corrective action not longer solve due to on Ubuntu 8.04 update, Ubuntu offer to upgrade also the current firefox to version 3. So, the problem happen again but not often like before.

And to minimize downtime due to firefox freeze, I need some tricks to made my firefox 3 run smoothly and of course quickly. So, how to speed up the firefox 3?, here we go the trick that I use on my firefox 3.

1. Open Firefox, and type about:config in the address bar. Just skip about the warning that comes out.

2. Use the filter above to find network.http.pipelining and set it to True by double clicking on it.
3. Create a new boolean value named network.http.pipelining.firstrequest and set that to True, as well.
4. Find network.http.pipelining.maxrequests, double click on it, and change its value to 8.
5. Now look for network.http.proxy.pipelining and again set it to True.
6. Create two new integers named nglayout.initialpaint.delay and content.notify.interval, setting them to 0.

Now restart your browser and check a few heavy-loading websites to see if those changes worked or not. Since I use this trick, I never got my firefox freeze for a while.
