Add the code below to your user.js File.

// This one makes a huge difference. Last value in milliseconds (default is 250)
user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 0);

That really made a big difference! Im guessing the last value causes the browser to "wait" before displaying the page?

Texturizer.net/firebird/tips.html explains what this tweak does.

Quote:

Speed up page rendering

By default, Mozilla Firebird doesn't try to render a web page for 250 milliseconds, because it's waiting for data. If you add the code below to your user.js file, Mozilla Firebird immediately tries to render the page, even without complete data. The drawback is on slower machines where doing a "reflow" may actually cause the total page load time to be longer.

// This one makes a huge difference. Last value in milliseconds (default is 250)
user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 0);

With that speed rendering tweak, the nglayout.initialpaint.delay can be changed from about:config just like the other tweaks in the first post of this thread.

Saves the hassle of editing the user.js file.

True thanks for the info chaosx123.

Ill update my first post.

Force and bioxfeed, thanks for your help. Now it is fixed.

I just did a fresh reinstall and that fixed it.

Force · 25th October 2003, 4:44 PM

good to see you fixed the problem congoh.

Also on about:config

Set network.http.pipelining to true - allows firebird to send multiple HTTP requests to a server at once.

I had the tweak up but I removed it since I got messages from people saying that it slowed down browsing for them.

Hari · 26th October 2003, 11:04 PM

I have added links to both the Firebird & Thunderbird Roadmaps in my first post.

These two network settings made firebird a little laggy on my Telstra Bigpond 512/128 ADSL connection, so I tried simular settings to the ones I have setup Opera:

network.http.max-connections = 32
network.http.max-connections-per-server = 16

Also, changing this setting aided in giving a slight performance increase as well:

network.http.pipelining.maxrequests = 100

These settings have given me quicker page downloads without any obvious lag or bottlenecking.

NOTE: Make sure you right down the original settings before you change them, just incase you want to revert back to them.

pipelining slows down firebird for me im turning it off.

I’ll update my first post as setting it to 32 does improve the speed a bit.

deepspring · 27th October 2003, 12:18 PM

network.http.pipelining.maxrequests = 100

I ended changing this setting back to 100 after finding out that some pages would pause for about second.

ALL pages now load crispy quick...

its a bit faster but some sites slow down for me i think i might just leave it off.

thanks for listing the tweak any way nice work mate.

SchRAMBO · 28th October 2003, 6:13 PM

hows this for lazyness. I love this feature

forget the days of typing in the www. the .com / .net or .org

for example say you wanted to go to www.ibm.com you just type in "ibm" into the address bar and hit enter. it will automatically redirect itself.

.com = "ENTER"
.net = "SHIFT+ENTER"
.org = "CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER"

they need to ad a method of doing a .au at the end of .com sites. but hey how good is this hahahar.
