Increase the number of simultaneous XmlHttpRequests in Firefox

to firefox ajax xml xhr xmlhttprequest by jamiew on Jul 07, 2006
Firefox doesn't do a lot of simultaneous AJAX (or any kind of HTTP) requests. IE caps it at 2, too. This will allow you to test your XHR overload scripts, or just load pages faster in general.

1. Go to "about:config"
2. Find and edit the following
* network.http.pipelining=false
* network.http.pipelining.maxrequests=4
* network.http.proxy.pipeline=false
3. Make the false's true; I set my maxrequests at 20

Fix Firefox search engine ordering

to del.icio.us firefox by jamiew on May 10, 2006
1. Type about:config at your Firefox address bar.
2. Type browser.search.order at the filter bar.
3. Change browser.search.order.1 to Google.

The new del.icio.us extension broke my search engine order... cheeky plugin placed itself #1

Getting rid of 'port has been disabled for security reasons' in Firefox

to firefox portbanning by jamiew on Apr 24, 2006
1. Type about:config at your Firefox address bar.
2. Right click -> Select 'New String' -> Type network.security.ports.banned.override
3. Enter your ports

I allow port 113 for various sundry firewall-related reasons
