This tutorial will explain how to fix Firefox slow problem in ubuntu 10.04(Lucid)
Open your Firefox and type about:config at URL address bar and hit enter. To make a False into True, select the line to change, and double click. On the 2nd option change, right click and select Modify
-- network.http.pipelining > Make it True
-- network.http.pipelining.maxrequests > Make it 8 or 10
-- network.http.proxy.pipelining > Make it True
-- network.dns.disableIPv6 > Make it True
I hope this helps for some users
This method also worked perfectly for 10.10, also i love you <3
Dude, you’re a god. Thanks a lot. I was just about to go to Chrome, much as I love Firefox.
Works great for me. Thanks a lot !
That worked for me too, thanks!
Worked for me in 10.10. Thanks so much — you have no idea how frustrating it’s been until now!
thank you maN!!
it works 10.10 64b
That is a fantastic fix!! Glad you posted this. What I can’t understand is why these settings are not the defaults. Firefox on Windows does not have this problem. Seems like this needs to be changed in the Linux version.
Works like a charm. Thanks for help.
Works very well in Maverick!!! thank you…
Thanks a lot for providing this fix. It works!! : )
Omgd tht was amazing lol but im so confused why this aint a default
this worked for ubuntu 10.10 !
Thanks!
I <3 U, man!
Fantastic, it now works. I have been using Chromium but i have missed firefox as its been boken for over a year. (10.04 and 10.10) Fix works a treat.
Thank you
Fresh install of 10.10, Firefox is fast again! I can’t believe the defaults make it so slow! THANK YOU!!!
THIS IS A HELL OF A FIX !
Strugglin’ for months with this problem and it seemed to get slower from day to day. Till yesterday, when webbrowsing was totaly shutdown.
Wasn’t able to identify the problem. Thought it was a networking problem in the wifi or something.
Keep publishing fixes. Damn importend.
Thank You!
Man, you are a godsend! I can now download my podcasts in style. Works great on 9.10.
Thanks!
Thanks, works great on 10.10
This DOES work!
For a while I thought:
Firefox – find link in 1 sec, load page in 5 min
Chrome – load page in 1 sec, find link in 5 min
With this fix firefox has become the best again! Don’t switch to chrome (for speed reasons) before you’ve tried this!!!
Thanks!!!!
Amazing! Ubuntu browsing is alive on the WWW again! Ive been painfully suffering since moving to 10.04…
Any similar fix for increasing download speeds using browser applications like DownLoaderHelper?
Great fix! Works here too!
What does the http pipelining do though and why does turning it on fix the problem?
