Make Firefox Faster

Try this "power-user" trick to make it download pages faster by allowing multiple connections so it can download more than one file at a time. It's only useful for broadband users, so if you're still on dial-up you can just skip this one for now.





1) Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return.

2) In the Filter bar upper left type in network.http
and hit enter. Now find the following "we want to change
"network.http.pipelining" to "true" just double click to
change it to true.
Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"
Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some
number like 30. Means it will make 30 requests at once.

3) Lastly right-click anywhere and select
New-> Integer. Name it"nglayout.initialpaint.delay"
(without the quotes) and set its value to "0".
This value is the amount of time the browser waits before
it acts on information it receives.

If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages
MUCH faster now!

Enjoy
