Speed Up The Reponse Time On Firefox 3 URL Bar

Open Source 23 November 2008 1 Comment



The URL bar is super-slow in Firefox 3. This a quick solution to speed it up.

1. Type “about:config” in your url bar.

2. Filter for “browser.urlbar.matchOnlyTyped“.

3. Double click on the row to make it’s value change to TRUE.

That’s it. This should speed up the response time on the URL bar. Firefox rox!

    Yeah, it speeds it up by disabling all the super powerful features. That’s like saying you don’t have car trouble because you walk – hmm.
