How to Speedup Firefox

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.

Fast Access to Firefox Extension Options 

Many Firefox extensions that you install can be configured by accessing the Tools > Add-ons menu and clicking on the Options button of the extension that you want to configure. This is not an elegant way if you have to change options frequently. That is probably the same thought that James R. Skinner had who developed the Firefox extension ‘Options Menu’.

How to block Youtube Video Ads

Youtube decided to use so called overlay advertisements on selected videos which are seen as the first step to monetize Youtube. The ads seem to be ten second flash animations that appear at the bottom of the video in almost transparent form stopping the video playback until the user either clicks outside of the ad to resume the video or on the ad to be taken to the advertisers website.

The creator of Tubestop, a Firefox extension that stops autoplayback of Youtube videos, noticed that his extension did also prevent the advertisement from appearing which he attributes to the fact that Youtube ads are only displayed on the main site and not when the videos are embedded or syndicated.

Tubestop therefor stops the ads in Youtube effectively and should be downloaded by everyone who does not like to see this kind of ads on Youtube.
