Faster FireFox Anyone?
I have seen this Firefox speed boost posted around on a few forums and thought most of you will be interested, esecially 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 a 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 befor it acts on infomation it receives.
If you're using broadband connection you'll load pages 2-3 times faster now.

i have only just done this and so far it seems to work. i believe its possable in both windows and linux versions of firefox also i have tried typing about
:config into mozilla and the same configuration page comes up so it may also work for mozilla users
good look
