Are you using the fastest web browser? If you use Firefox, its latest Firefox 3.5.6 run 2X faster than Firefox 3. The website loading speed bottle neck is on JavaScript process time. The faster it process JavaScript, the faster it finish load a website.

The graph above shows respond time for each browser under SunSpider JavaScript test drive. Chrome run fastest followed by Safari. Firefox 3.5 engine has been improved a lot that come near to Safari. (more…)

We all know Firefox 3.5 is fast web browser. Some user experience slow Firefox 3.5 startup after upgraded. Do you face the same problem?

Let me tell you why mine faster and your firefox 3.5 start slower. It is a bug in new Firefox. It try to gets randomness it needs for security purpose by scanning temporary folder.

Unfortunately, our clever Windows create lots of temporary files and folders by Internet Explorer. Perhaps also happen to those who use IE once in a while. The only workaround is clean Temporary Folders and Internet Temporary Folders. (more…)

I’ve installed some add-on to my Firefox. Sometime it run slower than it should be. Did some searches and found I could double the Internet browsing speed by just few simple tweaks.

3 Steps to Double Internet Speed

I found that Firefox tends to eat a lot of RAM in exchange for quicker launching and handling of the browser.

2 our of 3 steps are to reduce Firefox RAM consumption. Let’s do it with extra careful or your Firefox might not work.

1. Reduce RAM for Firefox Cache feature

In Firefox address bar, try this,

1) Type “about:config” (no quotes) and hit ENTER in the Firefox browser address bar
2) Find “browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewers”
3) Set it’s value to “0“ (Zero)

2. Increase Page Loading Speed

1) Type “about:config” into the address bar

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 10.

3) Right-click anywhere and select New->Integer.

Add name “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” with value to “0“ (Zero)

Optional: Add new field below for even faster web browsing,

New String - “network.dns.disableIPv6”: set “false”
New Integer – “content.notify.backoffcount”: set “5” (Five)
New Integer - “ui.submenuDelay”: set “0” (Zero) (more…)

Quite some time I didn’t update my blog. Too many things happen recently. Now my blogging life should come back as normal, perhaps.

Google release a second beta of its toolbar software that copy Chrome browser interface for Firefox. In Chrome, when you open new tab, it show you “Most Visited” site with thumbnail for selection.

The new Google toolbar 5 (beta) make your Firefox do the same thing. Not only that, but also shows “Recent Bookmarks” and “Recent closed tabs” as screen shot below.

Eventually, this feature already available in Opera browser before Chrome. So it is not a new thing. (more…)
