A Must have for Firefox users

Useful guide on speeding up firefox for broadband users

1.Type about:config into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:

network.http.pipelining
network.http.proxy.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

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 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.

3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". 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 MUCH faster now!

If you're using Fasterfox you should note that it does not adjust network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

Already pipelined.

Definitely feels faster since I did it.

Opera has it on by default, and that's an ancient trick :P. Also, the max suggested is about 8 pipelines, otherwise you bog down the connection.

Testing it out.

Seems to work minimally faster with 8 pipelines max. Seems to be more noticeable on the smaller Web sites.

Hah, aye, been around a while VERY nice though. My brother downloaded firefox for me the very first time, he actually did this and I didn't realise it untill I brought another computer and I had to beg him to work his magic :P
