You really don’t need to tweak your browser in case you are using Firefox because it is a browser which has been specially designed for optimized and fast browsing but if you can make it even a little more fast that would certainly be a treat for you. Likewise there is a trick to make Internet Explorer 6 fast too. Browsers are designed to work with fast connections but with this trick even dial-up users can experience fast and smooth browsing.
Optimize Firefox and IE Browsing Speed
I shall be teaching you two tricks which work separately on Firefox and Internet Explorer. It doesn’t require you to be some expert rather all you have to do is change some registry values and you are done. I have also included a video tutorial for those who want to see it step by step visually. This is perhaps one of the oldest tricks to optimize Firefox and IE but it still works great.
Trick to Increase Firefox Speed
- Open firefox and in the address bar write
about:configand press enter - Double click
network.http.pipeliningand set it to True - Double click
network.http.pipelining.maxrequestsand set value to 10 from 4 - Right click and create a new string
nglayout.initialpaint.delayand set its value to 0
You are done. Enjoy lightning fast Firefox browsing and now for IE.
Trick to Increase Internet Explorer Speed
- Go to Start –> Run and type regedit
- Select HKEY_CURRENT_USER –> Software –> Microsoft –> Windows –> Current Version –> Internet Settings
- Increase the values (DECIMAL) from default to a higher value e.g. 10
See the difference in speed of IE 
Here you go with a step by step video tutorial

Firefox trick works but was not able to find the corresponding values in registry for IE.decimal values are not present in Internet settings. Am using XP and IE7. Hey you have small typo for trick to increase internet speed. The path should be :
HKEY_CURRENT_USER –> Software –> Microsoft -> Windows –> Current Version –> Internet Settings
Anyway since i use mostly Firefox , so IE doesn’t matter much to me
… great tip
Hey thanks for pointing that out
I have fixed the path now and it will work brilliant now.
