Speed up your firefox browser

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



network.http.pipeliningnetwork.http.proxy.pipeliningnetwork.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 recieves.



If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages 2-3 times faster now.



Please post your comments to encourage me.
Thanks.
