Make your Firefox faster

"Pipelining" trick

If you use broadband, you can make webpages load even faster in Firefox by using this "pipelining" trick. 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 can speed up page loading.

Steps:

- Type about:config into the address bar and hit Enter, and then hit I’ll be care full, I promise!

- Type network.http in the filter field, and change the following settings (double-click on them to change them):

1. Set network.http.pipelining to True
2. Set network.http.proxy.pipelining to True
3. Set network.http.pipelining.maxrequests to 30. This will allow it to make 30 requests at one time.

- 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.
