My PC doesn't seem to like it when I have more than 600 tabs open at the same time.

Disabling images and scripts helped a bit, but does anybody know of any other options I can change to make Firefox run faster?

How much RAM have you got?

Try having just 599 tabs open, that worked for me  ;D

512

I could ask my boss to upgrade the RAM on my PC but I suspect he'd tell me to try HOLDorFOLD's suggestion instead :)

Get 2GB.  That'll sort it out.

I upgraded from 1GB to 2GB and the change was unbelievable.  Only cost £30-odd quid as well.

Go to crucial.com (UK page) and do the system scan.  It'll tell you what you have, what you can have, and how much it'll cost.  If you use Firefox you'll have to download the application; on IE it runs in the browser.

these dang fangled computers with their 2mb of RAM enough for a word document i tells thee!!!


I think you meant GB Kinfish ;)

You need to just select your favourite five or six porn sites instead of opening them all at once.

1.Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:

network.http.pipelining
network.http.proxy.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.

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 some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.

3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves.

It's far more sordid than that - they were lawyers web sites.

I will try this out - it certainly sounds impressive

;ashamed;

Get IE7 and open 601 tabs, much quicker.

install faster fox add on and clean your temp files with atf cleaner

Apparently this will actually slow the total page load time down, although it obviously looks like it's loading quicker...

I thinks this is on a different tangent. It won't help speed firefox up when it has loads of tabs open. The problem is it will probably be using all the available RAM. So yes, more RAM would help. But.. I have 2GB and if I've had firefox open for a few days it has memory leaks and will be using a ridiculous amount of RAM. It needs a restart now and then, bookmark all your open tabs in a TEMP folder, close firefox and open it again, then middle click the TEMP folder and it will open them all again.

IE limits the number of tabs you can open so it doesn't get as slow (I'm not sure if there is a preset number or if it varies on what your PC is capable of).

You could try Opera, it will certainly allow you to open lots of tabs and not slow down browsing as it uses little RAM. It will have different compatibility with some sites though, so you will still need firefox / IE for some.

Firefox has lots of memory leaks.  But 2GB should be more than enough in most cases.  The more add-ons you have, the worse it is - but I work all day with at least 10 tabs open at any one time and don't have to close Firefox. 

I also couldn't live without greasemonkey. 

2GB is enough, but firefox will get slow and crash eventually with any amount of RAM (after a few days).

That's true - but running on a windows machine it's unlikely that most people will have it running for a few days without needing to reboot anyway.

Well the MD hasn't immediately said no to my idea of upgrading the RAM on my PC, if this works the next thing I might try is to see if I can persuade him that sponsoring a poker player would be good for marketing :)

 :)up £54 for 2G

Now I've just got to work on the sponsorship deal

Can't see him objecting, mention your WSOP achievement, then tell him there's one on in London right now, just tell him you'll put an expenses claim in, best not mention the buy in just yet.

If he asks how much - just say 'ten'.

He did give me the company credit card and tell me to buy what I want as long as it wasn't, "too expensive".

I considered the cunning ruse of giving a WSOPe entry the payment reference 'paper clips', but decided that might be pushing it a bit. :)

JonMW's Expenses Claim.

Another freakishly large hat - £10,000

I would need to justify it as a business expense.

Although come to think of it, it could come in handy if we were trying to get some Texan clients.

and it's not freakishly large, it's just the right size.

A normal sized person tries on Jon's hat.

That's just being silly - my hat's black
