HOW TO SPEED UP MOZILLA FIREFOX

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 recieves.





If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages 2-30 times faster now
