"... Let us then enunciate the functions of a state and we shall easily elicit what we want: First there must be food; secondly, arts for life requires many instruments; thirdly, there must be arms, for the members of a community have need of them, and in their own hands, too, in order to maintain authority both against disobedient subjects and against external assailants ..."

Firefox speedup

Just installed Firefox 0.9. It rocks of course, as always, but here’s how to make it even faster: go to about:config and change the following values:

  • config.trim_on_minimize=false (you’ll have to add this one yourself)
  • network.http.pipelining=true
  • network.http.pipelining.maxrequests=100
  • network.http.proxy.pipelining=true
  • nglayout.initialpaint.delay=0

Other cool option: browser.xul.error_pages.enable=true
