Ubuntu 10.04 - Fix the " SLOW Firefox" Problem

[Done_Fishin]

This "fix" seems to be on many Internet sites and certainly appears to have brought my Firefox back to life.

Google Chrome was flying (but with problems playing back flash content).
Firefox was dragging her feet and was totally unusable until I ran this fix.

Note - To make a False into True, double click on the line you want to change.
to change a numeric value double click on the setting and wait for a pop up box or right click and select Modify

Open Firefox
type about:config in the address bar
hit enter.

- network.dns.disableIPv6 > change to True

- network.http.pipelining > change to True

- network.http.pipelining.maxrequests > change to 8 or 10

- network.http.proxy.pipelining > change to True

Hi D_F. That looks a bit like parts of an article that was floating around for how to speed up Firefox.

Do you think it might help with the problem I have here....... Flash games using 100% cpu
I'm running XP though.

Edit, for anyone interested.....if you type network in the filter bar the entries will be easier to find.

Everything I have seen so far is related to Linux (& Ubuntu in particular).

I'll respond in your other thread re other thoughts I am having.
