This should make a noticeable difference for all of you guys running 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.

Do you "save" it somehow when you're done, or just close the window?



Thanks for the tip!

just close the window and it will save everything you did automatically.

Isn't this the same as the "tweak" extension you can download? I used the "tweak" and it sounds like the same thing. Did make a hell of a difference though!

It probably is the same thing as the tweak download.

You got a link to it?

I'll post the link tonight when I get home. I'm at work now, they use IE for some strange reason...
