Many users find it easy to browse the internet with Mozilla Firefox because it is faster and it is more customizable. But still there are some websites that work good only with Internet Explorer and not Firefox. And some Microsoft Websites open only in Internet Explorer like the Windows updates                                            

Have you ever wondered if there is a way to open Internet Explorer within Firefox?                                        

There is an Add-On available in the Firefox website that will help you open Internet Explorer within Mozilla Firefox as a tab. You can find the Add-On in the Mozilla website with the name IE Tab here                            

Just download and install this Add-On from the Mozilla Firefox Add-On website and whenever you right click on some icon you will get an option “View this Link in IE Tab”                                                                         


When you click on it, that particular page will open with Internet Explorer as a tab inside Firefox browser

Firefox: Increase the Page Loading Speed

Firefox: Increase the Page Loading Speed



Firefox is one of the most widely used  browser on the Internet. Mozilla Firefox is open source and it's free, they also have 
portable browser. It supports all the operating systems like Windows xpWindows 7, MacOSX, Linux based computers.
    
How to customize 
Firefox browser to increase the speed of page loading .
This trick is based on the concept of HTTP Pipelining. To utilize HTTP Pipelining,what you have to do is to just enable the HTTP pipelining in Firefox because it is disabled by default in Firefox version 3(or in greater version, It may not be supported in older versions, if so then first upgrade your firefox to 4).
  •  Open Firefox Browser and type about:config in address Bar and hit enter.

  • Now type network.http.pipelining in Filter box.

  •  Change the value field of network.http.pipelining, from False to True (By Double Clicking on it).

  • Change the value field of network.http.pipelining.maxrequests from 4 to 8(or more).

  • You may like to change or not in third field,actually it is for servers that uses SSL.If you want then change it to true leave it untouched.
Note: Without HTTP Pipelining ,HTTP requests are sent out in successive order i.e one after another but If we use HTTP Pipelining then the request can be sent to the server more quickly that’s why the page loading time will decrease.Therefore the browsing speed will increase and surfing become faster with Firefox browser.
