How to Speed Up Firefox for High Speed Users and Blocking Pop-Ups

If you're using Firefox these are great tips to speed up and control your Internet experience!

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

1. Open up Firefox (or download from their website). Type "about:config" into the address bar (no quotes).
2. To speed up the browser for high speed users:
   
   - 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.
   
   - Right click and select New->Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set the value to "0". This is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives.
   
   - Right click and select New->Boolean. Name it "browser.turbo.enabled" and set
   the value to "true"
3. To stop Pop-Ups from sneaking through plug-ins:
   
   - Right click and select New->Integer. Name it "privacy.popups.disable_from_plugins" and set the value to "2".
   
   The possible values are:
   
   0: Allow all pop-ups from plugins
   1: Allow pop-ups, but limit them to dom.popup_maximum
   2: Block pop-ups from plugins
   3: Block pop-ups from plugins, even on whitelisted sites
