Shared this with Randy and he liked it, so figured id post it:


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 receives.

On a broadband connection This will load MUCH faster!!

woot. I feel leet now.

And another thing:
1 - open About:config again.
2 - under "Filter" type "time" (without quotes)
3 - change all the values named network.blah.blah.timeout
Make them all greater than 100,000. This will greatly reduce the problems with slower servers "disappearing" from the internet when you use Firefox.
