       This tutorial will basically sum up speeding up Firefox. I will also post add-ons that are very helpful for smooth browsing on firefox.

       First make sure you download Firefox. Why? Because its much faster, updated frequently, and allows you to do much more then any other browser.

Download Firefox

Speeding Up Firefox

      Alright these are some simple and easy changes that will speed up Firefox by about 300%!

Pipelining:- Pipelining is what loads every single page you click. At default, it is set to download 1 thing at a time. That can take a long time, so were going to make it load 30 at a time! This will speed up web browsing quite a bit.

               Steps to follow:-

• Open up Firefox
• Type “about:config” in the URL bar
• In the config, search “pipelining”
• Look for a file called “network.http.pipelining”
• Double click network.http.pipelining, which will set it to true
• Now look for “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests”
• Double click network.http.pipelining.maxrequests and set the value to 30 NOT HIGHER!
• Now Restart firefox

note how much faster web pages will load! (especially akshat.07x.net:P)

   Firefox Ultimate Optimizer:- When Firefox is running, it uses quite a lot of ram. This can slow down other programs that you may have running and web browsing. This program will cut it down by about 95%!

How much memory do you use?

• Open Firefox
• Open control manager (Ctrl+Alt+delete)
• On the control manger click the “Processes” tab
• Under Image Name look for “firefox.exe”
• Look at the Mem Usage

Firefox Ultimate Optimizer Tutorial

• Download Firefox Ultimate Optimizer
• Extract it to you desktop
• While Firefox is running, run the program
• Check your memory usage again

     note how much less memory (RAM) is being used by Firefox!

Faster Fox:- Faster Fox is an add-on that loads page links before you click them. For instance, if you were on YouTube’s front page, it would be loading every link, video, etc. That way when you click that link, there is much less loading time.

Faster Fox Tutorial:-

• Download it
• Restart Firefox

Do all that and Firefox run, so fast, you can’t imagine .

Add-ons 

    Add-ons are the second reason I use Firefox. Firefox has so many help add-on’s. This is a list of some of my favorites and must haves.

Adblock Plus

       This blocks advertisements from showing up when searching the web.

NoScript

     Allow active content to run only from sites you trust, and protect yourself against XSS and Clickjacking attacks.

Enjoy your faster firefox

Enjoy!

       Only few people using Windows Operating system, know that Windows XP and Vista comes bundled with a generic Bluetooth driver. Many people get dumped by buying Bluetooth manager softwares to transfer data between their Bluetooth Devices.Today I’m going to share with you a trick

        This topic would be important to those who lost their Bluetooth driver disc or want to create custom name for their Bluetooth dongle device or want to make Bluetooth dongle Windows compatible!

   Firstly, we create custom name for your Bluetooth Device and make it Windows Compatible.

Here we go:-

• Plug the Bluetooth dongle.
• Cancel the driver installation wizard.

     Now, you can easily send and receive files from your Desktop or Laptop without installing any other software.

The Windows IP Configuration tool

The Windows IP Configuration tool (ipconfig) is the command-line equivalent of the accessory "Winipcfg" that was present in Windows 9X/Me. It is used to display the TCP/IP network configuration values. To open it, enter "ipconfig

" in the command prompt. If you are connected directly to the Internet, you will obtain your IP address. (For a discussion of what an IP is, go here.) The figure below shows the result for a broadband connection where the IP is assigned automatically. Here the IP is your computer’s temporary address on the Internet.

If you are on a local area network using a router, the information is different. You do not obtain the IP corresponding to the network’s address on the Internet. (To obtain the IP that the Internet sees, go to a source such as DSL Reports Whois.) The IP given is the local address on the network. This information can be helpful in diagnosing network problems. Also listed is the "gateway" or router address on the local network. The figure below illustrates the result.

Switches for IPConfig

There are also a variety of switches for ipconfig that add functions. These are invoked by entering "ipconfig /{switch}". To obtain a list of switches, enter "ipconfig /?" or "ipconfig -?

". These are shown in the figure below. The switches of most interest to everyday use are "release" and "renew". Note that IP addresses are typically assigned or "leased" for a period of time, often a day or more. It sometimes happens that IP addresses are no longer valid or are in conflict. Problems can often be solved by first releasing the IP address and then renewing it. Sometimes cable or DSL modems that seem to be disabled can be restored this way. If you travel and use broadband connections elsewhere, you will often find this procedure of releasing and renewing the IP address to be necessary.

For a detailed output of network parameters, you can use the command "ipconfig /all". Unless you are experienced with networks, however, this may be more than you want to know.

The switches "flushdns" and "displaydns" are are also sometimes useful in everyday use and they are discussed on another page at a sister site.

Ping

Ping is an old Unix tool that has been around for a long time but many PC users are unfamiliar with the Windows version. Ping sends out a packet to a designated internet host or network computer and measures its response time. The target computer will return (hopefully) a signal. It is a way of determining the quality of your connection to another site. You will also receive an IP address that corresponds to the user-friendly type of URL (see this page for further discussion of IPs and URLs). To use ping, open a command window (or DOS in Windows 9X/Me) and type: ping . For example, to ping Dell enter: ping dell.com

Please note the use of a hostname, not a complete URL. The prefix "http://" is never used. Many sites also do not require "www" . By convention, 32 byte packets will be transmitted four times. You will receive a screen output that looks like:

The screen tells me that the IP for dell.com is 143.166.83.230 (For the moment, at least. This can change.) It also tells me that the average round trip time for a packet was 69 milliseconds, which means I have a good connection to dell.com. Long reply times of several hundred milliseconds are indicative of a slow connection. Note that some major sites such as microsoft.com do not like being pinged and block pings. In that case you will get a "Request timed out" message.

In addition to being used on the Internet, Ping is often used to test connections on local networks. More details can be found in this Microsoft article.

Tracert

Tracert (traceroute) is another old tool borrowed from Unix. The actual path between two computers on the Internet is not a straight line but consists of numerous segments or "hops" from one intermediate computer to another. Tracert shows each step of the path taken. It can be interesting to see just how convoluted it is. The times for each hop and the IP addresses for each intermediate computer are displayed. Tracert shows up to 30 hops. It is convenient for finding if there is one particular segment that is causing a slow or bad connection. A typical command might be "tracert dell.com".

Pathping

This command combines functions of Ping and Tracert. Pathping will first list the number of hops required to reach the address you are testing and then send multiple pings to each router between you and the destination. After that, it computes results based on the packets returned from each router. Because pathping displays the degree of packet loss at any given router or link, you can determine which routers or subnets might be having network problems. Note that the whole process may consume 5-10 minutes because many pings are being sent. There are switches to modify the process and these can be seen by entering "pathping /?" in the command prompt.

Netstat

Netstat displays the active TCP connections and ports on which the computer is listening, Ethernet statistics, the IP routing table, statistics for the IP, ICMP, TCP, and UDP protocols. It comes with a number of switches for displaying a variety of properties of the network and TCP connections. (One tricky point: the switches must be prefixed with a minus, not a slash.) at this page. One possible use for Netstat is to determine if spyware or Trojans have established connections that you do not know about. The command "netstat -a" will display all your connections. The command "netstat -b" will show the executable files involved in creating a connection. A figure showing all the switches and syntax is given below. More detail is

Nslookup

This command helps diagnose the Domain Name System (DNS) infrastructure and comes with a number of sub-commands. These are mainly for systems administrators. The primary interest for average PC users is its use to find the computer name corresponding to a numeric IP. For example, if you want to know who is "216.109.112.135" , enter "nslookup 216.109.112.135" and you will find that it is (or was anyway) a Yahoo computer. My firewall keeps a log of the IPs involved in the attempts to probe my computer and I sometimes look a few up to see who they are. (There are also Whois search sites available on the Web as mentioned in the Ipconfig section.)
