Make Firefox Browser Fast....

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
and browser.turbo.enabled

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.

Alter the entries as follows:

Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true" . (Right click and use toggle to change values.)

Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 20. This means it will make 20 requests at once.

Set "browser.turbo.enabled" to "true"

Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay"(excluding quotes) and set its value to "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves.

If you have a broadband connection your surfing will be faster now......
