Hi Tim, How do I delete or edit an entry in, about:config? When I entered,
nglayout.initialpaint.delay I screwed up & put a, 1, at the end so it reads, nglayout.initialpaint.delay1 I need to remove the, 1 from the end or, delete the whole entry so I can reenter it. Can this entry be edited or removed? If so, how is it done? I've tried using the modify option in the context menu but, no luck! Running J13, SP, & FF36. All help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks much. Take care.

Tim Ford 15 Coolest Firefox Tricks Ever FEATURED TECHNOLOGY BY LEO BABAUTA banner end Everybody’s favorite open-source browser, Firefox, is great right out of the box. And by adding some of the awesome extensions available out there, the browser just gets better and better.

Get to be a Jedi master with the following cool Firefox tricks. … 12) Speed up Firefox. If you have a broadband connection (and most of us do), you can use pipelining to speed up your page loads. This allows Firefox to load multiple things on a page at once, instead of one at a time (by default, it’s optimized for dialup connections). Here’s how: list of 5 items • Type “about:config” into the address bar and hit return. Type “network.http” in the filter field, and change the following settings (double-click on them to change them): • Set “network.http.pipelining” to “true” • Set “network.http.proxy.pipelining” to “true” • Set “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to a number like 30. This will allow it to make 30 requests at once. • Also, 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 receives. list end [Note from Tim: In the last step above, I entered a 1 to replace the ″. That was purely a guess, but Firefox works much better. However, since I made the other changes all at the same time, I have no idea which items contributed to the improvement in what proportion.] For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
